A metáfora da memória alheia na crítica literária de Ricardo Piglia

Abstract

This research investigates the metaphor of the memoria of others present in the literary criticism "The last Tale of Borges" by Ricardo Piglia. We understand literary criticism as a gesture of reading, as metaphor, a discursive resource constituent of meaning. The metaphor is historically oriented and allows the transfer of terms between discursive formations, as pointed out by Michel Pêcheux's studies. Thus, we seek to delineate the context of production of the metaphor of the memory of others through its approach in the critical literature and we carry out a reading of memories evoking a construction of a history for the same. Next, we try to understand how the discursiveness of criticism is established as a memory of others. The metaphor of the memory of others proposes a creation of sense to the literature, reading, and culture, at the same time, that relates directly to the constitution of the discursive subject of criticism, in its exercise of mediality.
