Narración y experiencias de vida: mujeres infieles

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze a particularity of autobiographic narrative in an interaction situation whose main theme revolves around the private lives of people: female conjugal infidelity. The autobiographic discourse, in fact, may be considered as a specific case of the narration of personal experience, characterized by the presence of a self that narrates and whose identification in narrative depends on particular referential sequences. In this field of analysis, the objective is to proof the hypothesis that the narration of private events in social interaction contexts has two essential characteristics: the atypical conformation of the climax and the accumulative effect of evaluative items in two specific narrative moments.
