Details

This colloquium aims at analyzing and discussing the notion of narrative identity, through a dialogue with the practices of literary creation. The extension of the narrative paradigm to personal identities originated in philosophy with authors such as Paul Ricœur and Charles Taylor and has been applied in a fertile manner in the social sciences. Likewise, literary creativity presents many possibilities for the application of these notions, as well as radical challenges. In the literary process, identities are constructed and deconstructed, transformed, fragmented or unified in what seems to be an unending play that allows for many possibilities, from the attempt of reaching a unified autobiography, to the more radical explosion of fragmented identities, of which the heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa are a paradigmatic case.
