Entre la imagen y el concepto. Alain Robbe-Grillet y el discurso angelical de la teoría

The present work focuses on the link between fiction and essays in the autobiographical story Angélique ou l'enchantement (1987) by Alain Robbe-Grillet. Starting from the premise of the construction of the own figure that the writer himself poses, the study analyzes the programmatic nature of an interventions that seek to reconfigure his place within the literary field, although simultaneously –and here is our hypothesis– can be read also in the interstices of that project a certain hesitation and ambiguity in his speech. The life’s remembrance, the reflections on his literature and the account of specific episodes of his childhood will therefore have unexpected consequences in the very conceptualization of the author's work.
