Descripción
Sumario:This work focuses on the problem of biography and autobiography as memory exercises aimed both at building the identity of a character and at explaining the meaning of a work based on the experiences lived by its author. Within the framework of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s thought, an attempt will be made to reconstruct the relevance of biographical and autobiographical literature in the period from the 18th to the 19th century—that is, the period that in philosophical terms includes the passage from modernity to postmodernity. Then, following some of the hermeneutical proposals developed by the philosopher, we will try to make a critical reading of Paul Auster's work, The Invention of Solitude, taking into account the differential characteristics of the time in which Auster writes and the historical period to which Gadamer refers.
