description This study aims at analyzing two novelistic works by contemporary authors, different in their representation of trauma and the forbiddance attached to it. In order to do so, we will analyze Os Cus de Judas (1979) by António Lobo Antunes (ALA), and Pourquoi le Brésil? (2002) by Christine Angot (CA). Despite de fact that there are no obvious similarities between the two novels - which are very different romanesque works (gender marked discourses, different urban sceneries, distinct chronological settings, etc.) - at least they have in common some trauma figurations that considerably challenge and renew the novel (the ALA’s novel tells us about the trauma of a colonial war whereas the CA’s novel deals with the trauma of incest).
