Abstract

From a comparative standpoint, the text reflects upon the autofictional genre having in mind the significant presence in contemporary literature of self-writing, the autobiographic impulse and the resource to autofiction as a strategy of literary creation. Taking into consideration the complexities and non-rigidity of boundaries between what is meant as fictional and non-fictional discourse, this study discusses the intersubjective mobilities – autofiction, memory and imaginary – and the coherence of relating such categories to Sérgio Kokis’s Funhouse. In order to do that focus is placed on issues about migrant identity, fabulation, text construction and the concept of mobility, which includes the notion of autofiction, a hybrid genre that creates a performance of the image of the authorial self present in the text.
