Abstract
Eliete, ou a vida normal, Dulce Maria Cardoso's most recent novel (2018) presents a seemingly unassuming reflection on daily events in contemporary Portugal from the perspective of the eponymous protagonist. It is a charged, complex and profoundly ironic reflection on key concerns of our time, from the haunting presence of the Estado Novo and the figure of Salazar to the effacement of social and collective bonds in the constant pursuit of an illusory individualism. Drawing on Adorno's Minima Moralia, among other theoretical sources, the essay attempts an analysis of the imbrications of politics and memory at the core of this novel.
