Longing for the past and its new discovery in reportages about Galicia
Abstract
The subject of the article oscillates around the discussion of the concept of ‘longing’ in Martin Pollack’s reportages about Galicia. From a methodological point of view, the basis for research is the author's family biography in relation to historical transformations, as well as the author’s personal experiences and observations during his journey through Galicia. The focus is on the question of how Pollack (re)constructs historical space and depicts it in an aesthetic and literary way. Pollack aims to discover Galicia based on individual and collective memories.
