Sylvia Molloy

    Sylvia Molloy je argentínska autorka, ktorej tvorba sa ponára do zložitosti identity a písania. Jej próza často skúma hranice medzi fikciou a autobiografiou, spochybňujúc tradičné literárne kategórie. Molloyovej štýl sa vyznačuje precíznosťou a intelektuálnou hĺbkou, čím čitateľom ponúka bohatý zážitok plný zamyslenia. Jej literárny prínos spočíva v neúnavnom skúmaní toho, ako jazyk formuje naše chápanie seba samých aj sveta okolo nás.

      Focusing on cultural and historical issues, this study explores the evolution of Spanish American autobiography from the post-colonial era to today. It highlights the genre's complex nature, blending personal narrative with historiography, and examines key texts like Sarmiento's Recuerdos de provincia and Victoria Ocampo's Autobiografia. Professor Molloy analyzes their narrative strategies, connections to European literature, and the use of memory, revealing insights into self-perception and the dynamics between individual identity and community.
