Autofiction and autopoetics in Una vez Argentina, by Andrés Neuman %U https://revistas.uncu.edu.ar/ojs3/index.php/boletingec/article/view/4215 %X This paper considers childhood as a story of a beginning (Premat) in order to analyze how the origin of writing narrated in Una vez Argentina lays the foundations of the future Andrés Neuman’s work and his writing project. On the one hand, the novel is situated in a convergence zone between autofictional and autopoetic representations that make possible the construction of his already popular image of an author with two homelands. On the other, it exposes the mechanisms that guide the literary work and constitute a writing laboratory whose configuration becomes more complex when considering together other narrative and poetic texts in which childhood appears as a relevant place of representation and enunciation.
