Narrative practices in the 16th century: history and theory
Abstract
This work proposes a particular reading of the sixteenth century prose, focused on the articulation of epic, historical and fictional narratives; moreover, it re-examines the relationship between texts and authorial practices in a more complex framework than the usual historical categorizations. Historicity is not conceived of only in a sequence, but also in terms of mapping or cartography, thus emphasizing the plurality of generic-discursive links and the processes of convergence and hybridization. To this purpose, the study employs the following oppositions: truth-fiction, didacticism-entertainment and orality-writing. The latter is used to determine different authorial profiles and their attitudes to the mentioned polarities.Keywords
