Abstract
ANTEQUERA, María Florencia. The Upbuilding of the Framework Narrator-Textual Protagonist-Author in the Work of the Santafecino Writer Alcides Greca (1889-1856): Travel Tales and Autobiography. Humanidades (Montevideo. En línea) [online]. 2019, n.5, pp.117-154. Epub June 01, 2019. ISSN 1510-5024. https://doi.org/10.25185/5.7.
In this paper we are interested in showing how the interaction between Narrator-Textual Protagonist-Author operates in the travel writing of the argentine intellectual Alcides Greca (San Javier, 1889- Rosario, 1956). In certain way, this matter leads us to set out some aspects of the performance of the autobiographical topic in his literature. Considering that the resources for genre travel writing occupy a relevant place, like the description, the intertextuality and the performative glance, among others, we understand that the interaction between Narrator-Textual Protagonist-Author relies on this and other series of related features that, evidently, are necessary to map: the autobiographical pact, the reading contract, the unfolding of the self in the text, the reality effect. The own fictional character of the genre -and, particularly, of these travel writing- is peculiar: we hold on to the position that the memories as well as the means of locomotion enable the construction of the autobiographical issue.
