| description | Two texts about the pain of the other. Two convalescent mothers in hospital beds, two sons sitting in
chairs next to their beds. Two sons writing in first person in order to escape the pain, with the simple
difference that one of them uses his own name to do it and the other chooses to modify it. In this article
I propose a parallel reading of Jorge Baron Biza ́s El desierto y su semilla [Desert Seeds] and Julián Herbert ́s
Canción de tumba [Tomb Song], to examine the use of the proper name in both. In the
analysis of the ambiguity between autobiography and novel, I ask questions about the use of the proper
name in the two texts, in order, first of all, to establish the way in which the term “autofiction” operates;
and secondly, to point, in each case, to the singularity of the narrative voice through this technique that
creates tension between remembrance and memory |

Dos madres convalecientes en una cama de hospital, dos hijos sentados en el sillón contiguo a esa cama. Dos hijos que escriben en primera persona para intentar escaparle al dolor con la simple diferencia que uno usa su nombre para hacerlo y el otro elige modificarlo. Me interesa leer juntos El desierto y su semilla de Jorge Baron Biza y Canción de tumba de Julián Herbert para indagar en el problema del nombre propio. En el análisis sobre la ambigüedad entre autobiografía y novela que revelan ambas autoficciones, quisiera problematizar sobre la elección del nombre para poder primero establecer la operatividad del término autoficción; y segundo, señalar, en cada caso, la singularidad de la voz narrativa a través de la técnica que pone en tensión los mecanismos de recuerdo y memoria Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2017-07-02 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/6209 10.19053/01218530.n30.2017.6209 La Palabra; No. 30 (2017): Special issue: Autofiction and narratives of the self.
