| Description | The text Hija del camino by Lucía Asué Mbomío Rubio is articulated between fictional details and autobiographical details, experiences and places really lived by the author, but narrated as part of the life of Sandra, the protagonist of the work, with the attempt to create an identity reference not only for the author, but for a whole social group that, not having a reference in the Spanish media and cultural products, does not exist for the society. Because of all these characteristics, the text can be included within the genre of autofiction, connected from its origins to the author's identity question. The aim of this article is to propose the use of the term heteroconstruction to analyze this type of autofictions where, although the name of the author and the protagonist do not coincide, all the other characteristics of the autofictional genre can be found. For this reason, some theories of the genre of autofiction and its relationship with postmodernism are presented, the concept of heteroconstruction is developed from such theoretical framework, and this concept is used to analyze Hija del camino as an identity search and an act vindicating the existence of black Spanish people in Spain. |
