The reader will find a detailed analysis of the three most influential theories on self-writing: the philosophical approach of Georges Gusdorf, the structuralist approach of Philippe Lejeune, and the hermeneutic perspective of Paul Ricoeur. The work not only presents these conceptual frameworks but also provides a methodology for the critical study of autobiography, becoming an indispensable tool for understanding how writing shapes existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses literary autobiography from a dual perspective: theoretical and methodological. First, it presents and analyzes the three most relevant theoretical proposals regarding the autobiographical genre: the philosophical theory of Georges Gusdorf, which situates autobiography as an experience of self-knowledge and identity construction; the structuralist theory of Philippe Lejeune, focused on the autobiographical pact and the formal conditions of the genre; and the hermeneutic theory of Paul Ricoeur, which links narrative identity to the interpretation of time and experience. Second, the author proposes a study methodology that integrates these perspectives to analyze autobiographical texts, offering the reader the critical tools necessary to approach this genre in all its complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophical theory of autobiography according to Georges Gusdorf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe autobiographical pact and the structuralist theory of Philippe Lejeune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNarrative identity and hermeneutics in the work of Paul Ricoeur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMethodology for the critical study of the autobiographical genre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between writing, existence, and identity construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and scholars of literature, philosophy, and the humanities interested in the theory of the autobiographical genre.
