At least since the advent, during the decade of the 70’ from the past century, of the term ‘autofiction’, questions concerning how to understand this genre or what possibilities it allows for exploring subjectivity have produced a persistent critical exchange in academic journals, symposia, and essays.

Lejeune (1975) are known as the fictional and autobiographical pacts.
