Factum e fictum; fictum e factum: entre reinos, heróis e histórias O insólito nas narrativas de Mário de Carvalho e Xosé Luís Méndez Ferrín

Abstract

The writers Mário de Carvalho and Xosé Luís Méndez Ferrín present, in their writing, a brand that brings them greatly together: the insertion, most of the part of their work in web narrative, of not occasional unusual elements, in other words, the essential features for fictional fable. Their works, almost always, dialogue with mystical traditions, mythical and legendary, that are nourished, and in rereading the tradition of their nations, in full sense, rethink the world that they are inserted by transfigurations that has been commonly seen as "real" by the sense common. Trustees of a tradition that reiterating all the time, their writings are a dialogue not only in regard to the old dichotomy real / unreal, but are also a testimony of two confluent and rich plans to Post-modernity: 1) questioning or representation of the past through the unusual vein as a way to restore the Portuguese and Galician identities, and 2) fiction as the protagonist by itself through the textual architecture that dialogue each other as true and lie. By comparing these authors, we will think the relationship between the man with the unusual and the postmodern condition as an important element, if not vital, to the very meaning of empirical reality
