description The particular creative process of self-fiction makes it difficult to delimit any artistic work that belongs to this subgenre. Its double frame, unlike autobiography, allows the reader to judge the work taking into consideration two fictional concepts: fiction and the autobiography. The ambivalence derived from this confluence allows us to speak of the ambiguous reading pact, which considers two references (biographical and fictitious) at the same time (Alberca, 2005). The aim of this work is to point out the need to break with such indeterminacy that requires the separation between the two pacts of reading: if the readers looks at the autobiographical, the result will be different if one considers only the fictional aspect. In the following lines, this proposal will be exemplified from the first novel by the Argentine writer Leopoldo Marechal, Adán Buenosayres (1948), in order to determine what consequences this reading suggestion has for the work analyzed here

In the following lines, this proposal will be exemplified from the first novel by the Argentine writer Leopoldo Marechal, Adán Buenosayres (1948), in order to determine what consequences this reading suggestion has for the work analyzed here El proceso creativo particular de la autoficción dificulta la delimitación de toda obra artística que se inscriba a este subgénero. Su doble referencialidad, a diferencia de la autobiografía, permite que el lector juzgue la obra teniendo en consideración dos pactos ficcionales: el novelesco y el autobiográfico. La ambivalencia derivada de su confluencia permite hablar de pacto de lectura ambiguo, del cual se desprenden dos referentes simultáneos –biográfico y ficticio– (Alberca, 2005). En este trabajo, se pretende señalar la necesidad de romper con dicha indeterminación mediante la separación entre los pactos de lectura: si el lector atiende al autobiográfico, el resultado será distinto a si nos centramos en el novelesco. En las líneas que siguen, se ejemplificará dicha propuesta a partir de la primera novela del escritor argentino Leopoldo Marechal, Adán Buenosayres (1948), con el fin de determinar qué consecuencias tiene esta sugerencia de lectura para la obra aquí analizada Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2019-07-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/5989 10.19053/01218530.n35.2019.5989 La Palabra; No. 35 (2019): Miscellaneous issue.
