PIERA MARTIN, Lorenzo. The literary effigy: writing and grief. Humanidades (Montevideo. En línea) [online]. 2019, n.6, pp.153-175.  Epub 01-Dic-2019. ISSN 1510-5024.  https://doi.org/10.25185/6.6.

During the encounter of loss and its eventual overcoming, the cognitive seizing of the new death’s person status as a solid epistemic object turns out to be a recurring psychic operation for the grieving subject. This article proposes, through the analyse of texts belonging to the contemporary French literature, a brief theory of the “effigy” to address the way in which the deceased is evocated textually, at the same time that it analyses the conditions of its emergence and the discursive alterations that go with it.

Palabras clave : grief; effigy; epistemic object; literary writing.
