« I’M A MUSEUM OF INFINITE MASKS”: AUTOFICTION AND IDENTITY IN LACURA (2016) AND POGÜERFUL (2019), BY BIBIANA MONJE

Abstract

Bibiana Monje (Tenerife, 1983) and her literary works will be the objects of study in this paper. She will be analyzed from the concept of ‘autofiction’ in this research, it will be applied for drama due to the theoretical proposals put forward by authors like Ana Casas or García Barrientos. From such a theoretical framework, it will be first dealt with how Bibiana Monje’s voice approaches autofiction and, to a certain extent, modernizes it, together with the implications of said approach. Special attention will be paid to the multiple selfs that appear in the scene as to the use of metaficcitional resources. Second, the interest is centered in establishing the elements and mechanisms employed in the characterization of such a voice, written from an insular and female autoconscience.
