Abstract

LOPEZ, Silvana. Héctor Libertella, from narration to essay. A poetics of theoretical fiction. Valenciana [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.20, pp.297-334. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i20.331.

Belonging to the genealogy of Macedonio Fernández, Jorge Luis Borges and José Lezama Lima, the writing of Héctor Libertella is a poetry of rewriting, of the outrageous exhibition that literature is an operation of reading, cutting and appropriation of what has already been written and of the literaturization of that reading. These operations are the Trojan horse with which Libertella disrupts the concepts of realism and the categories of metaphysics proposing a literature of the trace, decentered, that spreads and redirects to a diversity without being reduced to a form with a unique sense. Denounced by Nietzsche as constructions, the language, the subject, the form, the time, the space, are disturbed by the Libertellian writing by means of citations, intertextual and transgeneric maneuvers. The writer builds and inscribes his writing keeping a "critical" position in front of the library that reads and fictionalizes.

Keywords : Libertella; Rewriting; Trace; Realism; Metaphysics.
