KOVAL, Martín Ignacio. From character to person. A contribution to the study of characterization of real people in factual narrative texts. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.61, pp.226-242.  Epub 22-Ago-2022. ISSN 2395-8669.  https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2022.1.11.

In this paper, we propose some arguments in favor of the terminological differentiation between agents in fictional settings (characters) and those in factual settings (people, actors, etc.), and nevertheless, we suggest the applicability of the tools of narratology to factual journalistic texts. Then, we propose an analytical-descriptive model -conceived only as provisionalwhich, although it resorts to traditional tools of narratology "in the strict sense" (that is, the one that deals exclusively with fictional texts), tries to do justice to the aforementioned categorical difference between fictional and factual texts insofar as it is accompanied, in the presentation, by a series of mediations that allow the extrapolation from one setting to the other. This model will be explained based on of the analysis of a fragment of a recently published journalistic chronicle, referring to the death of the Argentine soccer player Diego Maradona.

Palabras llave : factuality; character; person; characterization; affective reaction.
