Abstract
DELLARCIPRETE, Rubén. THE TRUTH OF FICTION AND THE TRUTH OF HISTORIOGRAPHICAL DISCOURSE. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.1, pp.141-159. ISSN 0123-5931.
Contrasting literary and historical discourse enables a methodological analysis both of the interchanges between the two discourses and the verification of each one's possible inherent specificity. Both offer a linguistic representation of reality; historiography, on the one hand, and according to some thinkers, does not address past or present events, but their figured substitutes; on the other hand, literature, with its "fictional pact", brings out its own artifice. And yet, this does not mean that it renounces truth or referentiality, just as historical discourse does not completely disarticulate its own cognitive grounds in relation to historical truth, even though at times this truth is subjective.
Keywords : Literature; history; construction of meaning; dehistoricizing; psychopathology of writers; identity.
