Javier García Rodríguez (Universidad de Oviedo): “Cuando el paraíso era una canción: La memoria del alambre de Bárbara Blasco” Sobre la conferencia Se aborda el uso de la memoria como mecanismo de recuperación de recuerdos y de creación de ficciones. Del presente al pasado, a través de la música, la protagonista lleva al lector desde el desengaño adulto hasta el desafío adolescente. Una época, los ochenta, mitificada y discutida, de la movida al bakalao, es también protagonista de esta narración que esconde secretos al ritmo de una narradora que dice y calla.

Autor de numerosos trabajos académicos y divulgativos sobre literatura y cine, incluyendo obras como Mutatis mutandis (Eclipsados, 2009) o Barra americana (DVD Ediciones, 2011).
