| Abstract: | Within the context of the postmodern questioning of the subject and the reality as extratextual reference, this paper approaches the narrative speech of El entenado by the Argentinian novelist Juan Jose Saer (1937-2005) from the perspective of implicit intertextual dialogues with Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception on the one hand, and with the anthropological discourse of the 16th century colonial chronicles on the other. These intertextual networks are invariably tacit and it is only through the use of the narrative metalepsis that they are revealed in the space that separates the narrator from the author. The presence of the latter is also tacit and can only be perceived when the linguistic register changes. Given the autoreflexive character that induces the narrative strategy of the metalepsis, the work of Saer implicitly converts into a meditation on the search for identity through alterity, performed by a subject who can no longer recognize a world that lacks the certainties of the modern philosophical discourse. |
