dc.description.abstractMany authors, such as Chamisso, Conrad, Rilke, Kafka, Pessoa, Goll, Nabokov, Celan and Beckett grew up bi- or multilingual, or lived in linguistically and culturally hybrid regions. Recurring to examples of texts by Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka and Fernando Pessoa, this paper focuses on their common tendency of developing new concepts of the self, by exploring the frontiers of alterity. In a social context, which is often experienced as threatening, the strangeness of being of their literary characters, often expresses itself in a double- or hetero-social consciousness, articulated in the same narrative. In this creative process, fantasies of fragmentation take the shape of doppelgangers, heteronyms, animals and even insects. The following article is a revised version of the paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), Denver, Col., 3 May 2010.por
dc.description.abstractNumerosos autores, como Chamisso, Conrad, Rilke, Kafka, Pessoa, Goll, Nabokov, Celan y Beckett, crecieron en ambientes bi- o multilingües, o vivieron en regiones lingüística y culturalmente híbridas. Recurriendo a ejemplos extraídos de Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka y Fernando Pessoa, este artículo se centra en su común tendencia de desarrollar nuevos conceptos del yo, mediante la exploración de las fronteras de la alteridad. En un contexto social, a menudo sentido como amenazador, la extrañeza de ser sus personajes literarios a menudo se expresa como conciencia doble o heterosocial, articulada en la misma narrativa. En este proceso creativo, las fantasías de la fragmentación adquieren la forma de doppelgängers, heterónimos, animales e incluso insectos. El presente artículo es una versión revisada de la comunicación presentada al Congreso Anual de la Asociación Americana de Investigación Educativa (AERA), Denver, Col., 3 de mayo de 2010.por
