Resumen

Este artículo propone la novela "TransAtlantic" del escritor irlandésamericano Colum McCann como ejemplo de lo que Edward Said ha llamado una contramemoria.” Dicha contramemoria sirve de toma de posición crítica ante lo que el intelectual británico Tony Judt denominó el “Consenso de Washington:” el ‘pensée unique’ ideológico que ha dominado el mundo occidental en las últimas décadas, y ha supuesto la sustitución de una conversación pública de carácter ético por un poderoso discurso que prima, por encima de todo, los valores del mercado. El artículo explora cómo, a través de su novela histórica, de su participación como intelectual público y de su concepto de identidad como arte, McCann presenta un mundo de valores distintos, valores de solidaridad transnacional y universal que implican a figuras desde Frederick Douglass hasta Barack Obama o el actor de Hollywood Gabriel Byrne, expresándose quizá más radicalmente a través del lenguaje de lo que podemos llamar un “patriotismo” irlandés-americano
