Mario Levrero´s Writing Like an Autobiographical and Literary Cartography, between the Río de la Plata and France

Abstract

This paper realizes an analysis of the autobiographical writing of Mario Levrero (1940-2004), through of spatiality and from theoretical perspective of Karl Schögel. We regard than: Apuntes bonaerenses, Diario de una canalla, El discurso vacío, La novela luminosa and Burdeos 1972 constitute an autobiographical and literary cartography of The Rio de la Plata and transatlantic cities inside of the Levrerian work. Namely, insofar than the Uruguayan cities Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento; the Argentinian Buenos Aires and in the other side of Atlantic, Paris and Bourdeaux, become the axes about which rotate narrations wrote in first person of the singular. The incorporation of this geographical correlate will allow us to authenticate the autobiographical dimension in these texts to watch microhistorical processes (individual, subjective, endogenous) and macrohistorical (collectives, objectives, exogenous) inside this narrative corpus. In addition, will allow us rethink the existing relationship between this narrative arc and fiction of the Uruguayan author.
