The genius andt he genre(s) of Laura Erber

Abstract

This text deals with the book Esquilos de Pavlov, by Laura Erber, for it allows us to consider the issues of the novel and of its spillovers induced by the dialogues established with other genres; in this case, with the visual arts and, specifically, with photography. To suggest the hypothesis that everything is related to Literature, contrary to what it may seem, firstly, the writer’s posi-tion in the contemporary literary scene is analyzed; secondly, the proximity with the characteristics of the novel of formation is established and, finally, the correspondences between text and photography, aiming at a close reading of the composition of the novel. Therefore, this text uses the studies of Jacques Der-rida and of Roland Barthes about the genre, as well it dialogues with authors who research the relationship between text and image, such as Florencia Gar-ramuño and Natalia Brizuela.
