Abstract
Aura by Carlos Fuentes points to the significance of existence and fabulation in its discourse and in the relevance and irrelevance of historical truths. The meta-language forms sequential storytelling, editing and writing possibilities, real or not, with similar functions. A pseudo-psychoanalytical model of reality creates a textual unconscious as poetic discourse. The representation of truth and its signification is a Kantian idea (Edmund Husserl, Logical Investigations, V.I, New York, Humanities Press, 1970, 194–5) by the innermost recesses referencing existence not as essence but as answer to and for oneself (Jean-Luc Nancy, The Gravity of Thought, Humanities Press, NJ, 1997). The narrative suspends historical time and essence of the non-existing General Llorente in a convergence suspending signification based on vraisemblanc in a double reconciled interpretation. Its diegetic implementation, mimesis; forms derivations of a phenomenon that relates to actions at each prohiresis, in an Aristotelian sense. Truth and fabulation are intrinsically intertwined and parallel to valorizations and consequences, evident in fictional truth; the unfolding of existence reduced to presence as interpretative reality within historical fabulation, rendering historical reconstruction and existence as testimony of a self punctuated history which can be textual and human.
