Javier Cercas’ 23-F. Ein historischer Kippmoment im Romanformat

Author(s): Dommann, Monika

Abstract

Javier Cercas’s novel Anatomia de un instante is centered upon a gesture: Adolfo Suárez, returning to his chair at the beginning of the coup in the midst of shots, sits down and leans back, surrounded by empty armchairs. Using the example of Cercas’s recounting a tipping moment of Postfranqism, the paper illuminates the return to the event as historical heuristics in the light of knowledge and media histories. Furthermore, it sketches the characteristics of a historiography, which, since 1970, has been interested in the excessive description of a micromoment.
