- Title
Imitación periférica: Larra y Alberdi.
- Authors
Carballo, Víctor Goldgel
- Abstract
The article discusses the imitation of Spanish literature in Latin America through the works of Mariano José de Larra (writing under the pseudonym Fígaro) and Argentine writer Juan Bautista Alberdi (writing as Figarillo). The author questions the role of the imitator and their ability to fully "possess" their works and truly call them their own. The author then discusses the origin of the name "Fígaro" which not only is related to Spain through the opera "The Barber of Seville" by Pierre Beaumarchais, but is also a famous Parisian newspaper "Le Figaro."
