Abstract

In the context, contemporary literature is building several and even contradictory aesthetic-literary representations around the idea of mask and identity. For our reflection, we will resort to a varied “corpus” of texts, in different discursive forms and genres-from poetry to fictional narrative (novel), from chronicle to essay, representative texts of contemporary literary trends. In short, the current literary representations construct a certain anthropological identity of the contemporary human being.
