Autofiction and sex-gender subjectivities: César Aira and Copi

The two autofictional texts that we address in this work, the novel Cómo me hice monja (1993), by César Aira, and the stories of Virginia Woolf ataca de nuevo (1984), by Copi, combine the inclusion of the author's own name within the fiction with the staging of sex-gender identities that introd...

These uses of the author's own name within fiction trace, according to our hypothesis, three types of “commitments” —understood as forms of adherence or involvement—, with something different from them: a “commitment to ontological subversion” or “fiction-reality” (inverting Ludmer's formula), a “social commitment” and/or an “existential commitment”. This implies, in each case, some degree of involvement with the ontological-literary aspect, with the Other or with the Self. Likewise, these commitments suppose certain effects on the ways of conceiving the sexual and generic aspect of textual identities. Las dos autoficciones que abordamos en este trabajo, la novela Cómo me hice monja (1993), de César Aira, y los cuentos de Virginia Woolf ataca de nuevo (1984), de Copi, conjugan la inclusión del nombre propio autoral dentro de la ficción con la escenificación de identidades sexo-genéricas que introducen grietas en el sistema sexo-género (Rubin “El tráfico” 97). Estos usos del nombre propio de autor dentro de la ficción trazan, según nuestra hipótesis, tres tipos de “compromisos” —entendidos como formas de adhesión o de implicación—, con algo distinto de ellos: un “compromiso de subversión ontológica” o de “ficciónrealidad” (invirtiendo la fórmula de Ludmer), un “compromiso social” y/o un “compromiso existencial”. Se trata, en cada caso, de algún grado de implicación con el aspecto ontológico-literario, con el Otro o con el Yo. Asimismo, dichos compromisos suponen ciertos efectos sobre los modos de concebir el aspecto sexual y genérico de las identidades textuales.
