No. 7 (2013-01-01)
  • Anahi Rocio Pochettino

Abstract

This essay problematizes, first, the interpellations between the concepts of “autobiographical fiction” from Severo Sarduy and “biografema” from Roland Barthes, as a modulation in the question of simulation and how to write the own autobiography with-others. Second, analyzes the work Theory of Heaven of Teresa Arijón and Arturo Carrera, when they review the heritage of Lezama Lima and Sarduy through the image of the tokonoma, and inscribe their biografemátical experimentation in the neo-baroque tradition.

Keywords: autobiographical fiction, biografema, Neo-baroque, Latin American literature, Argentinean literature
