Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this article we propose to think of the fictional discourse in the work of Alan Pauls in a perspective of the subject's experience and the relationships that the reader will be able to establish with other discourses that emerge from a specific fictional structure that Pauls builds from an empty assumption that is already (de-)meaning by the immediacy of the present time. The reader will find here some relevant speculations about the relationship between literature and other discourses that exist, originally, in much of the post-dictatorial texts produced by contemporary literature, even more so in the literary tradition of Argentina, and which seek allegorical elements to reconstruct the objectivity of a possible reality of always being revised. Here we will have as a broader text The Past  of Alan Pauls that, as a rule, continues to permeate the following later works: History of Crying,  History of hair and History of Money, staged in this way spectra of a past time that do notpass, but that refreshes and awakens reflection on the present time.
