Summary: | The analysis of intratextual microsemiotics allows for the observation of contradictions resulting from
the historical gaps projected in literary texts, which in turn reproduce the contradictions present in social
and ideological structures. In his model, Cros privileges an abstract intratextual space named genotext,
through which history and its contradictions are incorporated. The historical material invested in the
genotext corresponds to the principal interests of a society in a given moment of history. This implies
that in the text, the writer gives word, even if non-consciously, to a series of transindividual subjects that
run through it. This is illustrated through the analysis of a fragment of the second volume of Guzmán de
Alfarache , by Mateo Alemán (Sevilla, 1547 - México, 1614), edited in 1604.
