Teoría: escritura y vida

Abstract

In this paper we will consider the intersection between writing and life in literary theory discourse based on two cases: Maurice Blanchot’s influence on Roland Barthes, and the contemporary debate around the end of theory. We use Paul de Man’s “resistance to theory” notion to revise the continuities established between historical and theoretical discourses. On the other hand, we aim to highlight Alberto Giordano's contributions concerning the relationship between foreign literary theory and Argentine literary criticism from the 1990s to today.
