A autoescritura performativa: do diário à cena

Abstract

This research is interested in forms of autobiographical writing and self representation which they are performing in some significant examples of contemporary theater scene. Since Philippe Lejeune who systematized one of the first research on the "autobiographical genre" by contemporary researchers who work on the notion of testimony, we have different approaches than would be the writings of the self. With emphasis on the processes of creation of an autobiographical dramaturgy and the concept of self representation, this work finds its fundamental contribution in the field of literary theory wondering how the theory of autobiography, as it consists mainly from the 70s and its association with the idea a creative memory can guide us today in the reading of theatrical works that bring the first person in their statements.
