Abstract

In this paper I examine the so-called transverse writing, the intellectual and literary project of Rafael Argullol and one of his work’s core. To the catalan essayist, the transverse writing involves an expressive epiphany in which the fragment and the aphorism are conjugated. Thus, the author tries to make transparent the emergence and the natural flow of thought, as sensitive and intellective experience, through a series of transgeneric fugues and dissonances that reinforce his nomadic and plural conception of creation and existence.
