This work aims to analyze the representation of memory in the work A disciplina do amor (1980), by Lygia Fagundes Telles. In doing so, this work problematizes the way in which the narrator revisits the past in an attempt to understand the present. As a product of language, the account of memories goes beyond its historical specificities. In the resignification of what was lived, the memories are juxtaposed in a process of alternation, giving rise to images which no longer correspond to reality. Memory, coupled with creativity, is a basic characteristic, in part, of the work of fiction writer Lygia Fagundes Telles, since the author treats language resources and the imaginative process through a web of fragmented memories, which allows for the protagonists’ comprehension of the facts and of themselves. In A disciplina do amor, memory reveals itself in a fragmented form. However, it is recognized as a common thread, potentialized by the narrator’s voice which provides new meanings about the memories, through the filling-in of gaps via the fictional perspective.
