"El uniforme del general"; el eslabón roto de la Historia.

Abstract

The history of how the story «El uniforme del general» was published during the last stages of the Franco Regime, reveals the capacity of penetration that the narrative of José Ángel Valente has had in the field of ideological, political and social systems. As a resistance formula facing ideological frameworks, it formulates the existence of a space in the inner being of an individual, connected to the memory, that serves to rectify, from inside, the dominant discourses, and that, at the same time, exposes the mechanisms that sustain and authenticate the official truths.
