Estratègies discursives iròniques en la narrativa catalana actual: l'autoconsciència textual
2010
A partir de textos de Jesús Moncada, Quim Monzó, Carme Riera, Ramon Solsona i Sergi Pàmies, l'article analitza l'existència en la narrativa breu catalana actual d'una tendència que es caracteritza per l'ús dels recursos de la metaficció, adaptats als interessos literaris i a l'estil de cada autor però amb una orientación general compartida. Es tracta d'una tendència de clar signe antirealista i amb plena consciència de textualitat que fa explícits els mecanismes de la ficció; una modalitat de discurs irònic que s'interroga sobre les possibilitats i els límits de representació del real i, en definitiva, sobre allò que entenem per realitat. Departing from some texts by Jesús Moncada, Quim Mon…

Tre volte Marilyn: grazie e destino di una diva ‘‘moderna’’
2019
Il saggio si occupa dell'ultimo film interpretato da Marilyn Monroe prima di morire, Gli Spostati The Misfits (Huston, 1961) is the last film interpreted by Marilyn Monroe. The film is a precious observation point to analyze the triple figure of Marilyn Monroe: the character, the actress, the woman. The Misfits is the clear attempt to deconstruct the image of a diva, through the crisis of her own character. This is the condensed artistic and creative parable of Marilyn Monroe and, simultaneously, the most obvious sign of the end of the great Hollywood film industry.

Poe: cor científic. Els antecedents de la ciència-ficció
2014
Al hablar sobre los orígenes de la ciencia ficción y la literatura de anticipación, inmediatamente pensamos en los nombres de Herbert G. Wells o Jules Verne, prolíficos autores de finales del XIX y fuente de inspiración de posteriores generaciones. Pocos incluyen a Edgar Allan Poe, autor de principios del mismo siglo y fuente de inspiración de los ya mencionados. Y es que si Verne y Wells fueron los padres de la ciencia ficción, sin duda Poe fue el abuelo.
Wordarrows: El poder representativo del lenguaje en la obra de no ficción de N. Scott Momaday
2012
This article focuses on two non-fiction works by Native American author N. Scott Momaday: his 1969 historical memoir The Way to Rainy Mountain and his essay collection The Man Made of Words. It specifically tackles performative conceptions of language in the Kiowa storytelling tradition, where words are experienced as speech acts that have the power to intervene in surrounding realities. Taking into account 20th century ethno-cultural and linguistic policies in the United States, the article also reflects on the role indigenous languages may play in contemporary Native American Literature, which has most often been written in English.
The representation of work in the French narration since the Thirty Glorious Years
2017
There has been a resurgence of interest in the theme of work, since the end of the Thirty Glorious Years. Initially centered on a few emblematic works, there has emerged in subsequent years, multifaceted forms of expression that do not lend themselves easily to unifying categorisation. However, a specific literariness has emerged on this theme that reflects an originality that is unique within the realm of literary production. Whilst all writers hesitate about the best means to narrate human activities, those who write about work face particular difficulties in defining their position and status. The notion of fiction itself is challenged as it shifts between the domain of the real and the …
