Our Friends the Biographers: A Genealogy of Literary Affairs

My aim, in this paper, is to think about an emergent tradition of literary biographies in Latin America: biographies written by contemporary writers (1985 - 2016) about other writers´ lives (the biographical production of seven novelists: Osvaldo Baigorria, Ricardo Strafacce, Fernando Vallejo, Carlo...

Specifically, this essay proposes to analyze the construction process of this tradition in regard to the emotional bonds that link certain writers with others and provide reasons to tell the life of others. The relationship between biographer and biographed shows a contiguity line founded in literary respect whose effects are contamination, transference and infection. Two lives are tensioned in the writing and formulate an imaginary and loving space where practices and mechanisms are put into place in order to appropriate someone else’s memories.La autora de este artículo se interesa en pensar sobre una tradición emergente de biografías literarias en América Latina: biografías escritas por escritores actuales (1985 - 2016) que cuentan la vida de otros escritores contemporáneos (la producción biográfica de siete novelistas: Osvaldo Baigorria, Ricardo Strafacce, Fernando Vallejo, Carlos María Domínguez, Jorge Edwards, Santiago Roncagliolo y Rafael Gumucio). Específicamente, se propone analizar el proceso de construcción de una tradición, a partir de los lazos emocionales que unen a ciertos escritores con otros y que sirven de motivos para contar vidas ajenas. Entre biógrafo y biografiado (relación singular que responde a los contextos y procedimientos particulares de cada caso) se traza una línea de contigüidad fundada en la admiración literaria cuyos efectos son los de la contaminación, el contagio, la transferencia. Dos vidas se tensionan en la escritura y constituyen un espacio imaginario amoroso que pone en juego mecanismos y operaciones para apropiarse de recuerdos ajenos.application/pdfapplication/xmlspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/10640/8790https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/10640/10204Derechos de autor 2020 LA PALABRAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf217http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2La Palabra; No. 36 (2020): Special issue: The Biographic Dimension.
