Cartografías autobiográficas (lo confesional, lo íntimo y lo literario). El diario y sus alcances en el aula como instrumento formativo

Abstract

The intimate productions have been arranged as common places of "the writings of the self", in spite of this, in the different spheres of our culture, the narratives circumscribed to sui-referentiality have always been directed no further than self-documentation, situating themselves -if we may say so- in spaces of the not-yet, in places populated by a profound indeterminacy. This circumstance has certainly granted that this type of compositions still survives in a minority of age, under the pretext of the considerable theoretical and critical neglect in which they have historically been inscribed and which, unfortunately, they still hold at present. In view of the above, one of the main purposes of this work lies in the presumable revitalization of the figure of the diary and its status of self-refentiality; this, not only in the literary event, but also in essential spaces [sine qua non] such as education. In order to support the aforementioned presupposition and its resistance, the present research is distributed in two specific moments, both of which embrace this promise. Thus, in the inaugural instance, a historical and theoretical reconstruction of the literary diary is presented, in which the genealogical description and the critical thought are present, perspectives that expose not only the different transitions that the figure of the "I" has undergone in this type of writings, but at the same time, it allows to reveal and discuss with the different eccentricities and interdependencies that this device of "the referentiality" has occurred in front of the literary tribunals. In the second moment, attention is precisely focused on elucidating the creative and formative possibilities contained in "this type of narratives" in educational environments, all this from an explicitly revisional position.
