Abstract

Based on the confirmation of fiction components in the origin of the portrait, as well as its historical relationship with coat of arms and masks, we find similarly in autobiography a prevalence of rhetorical devices over elements of reference. The avant-garde, playfully assuming these facts, sets a precedent for the modern practice of autofiction. The common thread of this journey is the allegory, which we will see illustrated in two Argentine writers: Macedonio Fernández and César Aira.
