Fiction, Verisimilitude, César AiraAbstract
The theorization on mimesis, and also on what we would later call literature, arises under the sign of distrust of the philosopher's gaze. Thus, taking as a starting point a brief reflection on the notion of verisimilitude from passages of the classics like the Republic of Plato and the Poetics of Aristotle, this essay comments on the novel Las conversaciones (2007), by César Aira, with the aim of analyzing, through the work of the argentinian author, the continuation of the dialogue between fiction and philosophy. We argue, then, that if the metafictional strategy – present in many of Aira’s works, and very common to his signature as a writer – can be part of a literary project, it is also an opportunity for a broader reflection on the workings of literature, on the relations between literature and realism, and on the praising of the worlds imagined by fiction.
