  • This article argues that in his autofictional novel A Resistência (2015) theBrazilian author Julian Fuks explores the affective and imaginative implications of familymemory, namely with regard to his non-biological brother who had been adopted whenhis politically active parents fled the Argentine dictatorship for Brazil. The real parents ofthis unnamed brother have been among the ‘disappeared’ of the political state violence.The article shows how Fuks uses this very particular situation of family memory to explore the imaginary and hypothetical components that are integral both to the individualconstruction of the past and the affective bonds within a family.
