Sobre el testimonio del perpetrador en 'Flughunde' de Marcel Beyer. Desenmascarando sus dispositivos lingüísticos y discursivos
Abstract
In the novel Flughunde, published in 1995, Marcel Beyer, a third-generation author born in 1965 and who therefore did not directly experience the Nazi period or the post-war era, articulates a fictional story based on a series of historical facts related to the death of Magda and Joseph Goebbels’ children in which notions on the reliability of witnesses, fundamentally when these are perpetrators, are addressed. The objective of the article is to analyse how the novel portrays the representation of the perpetrator, as well as to uncover the discursive strategies of the text in order to expose the discourse of the perpetrator, who attempts to hide his responsibility in the crimes committed during Nazism.
