The Narrative Instances In El Lazarillo De Ciegos Caminantes: Alonso Carrió De La Vandera, Alias Concolorcorvo

Abstract

In 1771 and 1772 Alonso Carrió de la Vandera (1715?-1783) made an extensive trip to describe and evaluate the path of posts between Buenos Aires and Lima. His multifaceted journey was narrated in detail in El lazarillo de ciegos caminantes, a text that presents a scriptural awareness and an unusual plot development for its context. In this article we will deal in particular with the construction of an apocryphal author, Don Calixto Bustamante Carlos Inca, alias Concolorcorvo, to reflect on the problem of the attribution of the speeches and the proper name, and the condition of existence of the subject who signs and of the empirical author, since we affirm that Carrió de la Vandera becomes a paper being by entering the fictions he erects and interrelating on the same diegetic level with his creations.
