Ecología de la escritura en colaboración

Abstract

In this article, we address aspects of collaborative writing between two writers in the specific field of fiction, considering mainly matters related to the text, the process and the identity. Sloterdijk’s spheres theory (Spheres I, II and III) allows us to propose that, in the spheres of duets, the writers’ sympathy, affinity of beliefs and joint efforts generate symbolically conditioned sense bells. Such affinity enables the creation and distribution of a common identity and a phantasmatic resonance that feeds the creative work. The debate between devotion and autonomy involves ethical aspects related to shared responsibilities and benefits. Our case corresponds to a duet of contemporary Argentine playwrights: Walter Jakob y Agustín Mendilaharzu (Buenos Aires, 1975).
