The poetics of ‘Belarte’ in footnotes: the forked text in Macedonio Fernández
Abstract
Footnotes in Macedonio Fernández’s poetics, the concept of belarte he introduces and develops in his texts, form a privileged space for the author as a textual agent to ponder and interact with the reader. On several occasions, Macedonio Fernández experiments with footnotes in order to reveal their forking character, question their liminal nature and perform unusual functions: change the texts’ non-fictional status, determine fictional metalepses and re-establish the textual cohesion of the author’s fragmentary, topicless belarte.
