Review of writing as a therapeutic device and way of life.

Hello, today I have the review of the article Writing as a therapeutic device and way of life.

Blas Gabriel Rivadeneira is an author who has contributed to the magazine Cuadernos LIRICO, a publication of the interuniversity network of studies on contemporary River Plate literatures in France¹.

In particular, he wrote an article titled “Writing as a therapeutic device and way of life”, published in the 14th issue of the magazine in 2016¹.

This article addresses the preservation of correspondence between writers and its importance in the context of the logic of the archive, using as an example the correspondence between Mario Levrero and Francisco Gandolfo¹.

Rivadeneira reflects on what an author seeks when saving a letter and the operation he performs by displacing it from its original communicative context¹.

We already give you the abstract of the scientific article on writing as a therapeutic device and signature of life.

We propose an analysis of the strategies in the construction of the author figure of the writer Mario Levrero.

Based on a reading of the books Conversations with Mario Levrero (2008), One Less Silence. Conversations with Mario Levrero (2013) and Correspondence. Mario Levrero and Francisco Gandolfo (2015) set out to trace the main forms of self-figuration and its poetics.

We consider that, in the various interviews and in the epistolary dialogue, Levrero makes explicit a conception of literature that organizes all of his work.

The Uruguayan understands writing as therapy, a skill that enables the controlled emergence of the unconscious, and as a way of life, in contrast to the alienated ordinary life that blocks the writer from working with his interiority.

I begin with this analysis of this scientific article, I begin with the fact that if you are interested in showing writing as a way of healing (therapeutic, to say the least), identify how the letters show how it is a fundamental part of Mario Levrero’s work.

He sees writing as a therapy, which shows the unconscious and as a way of life and how it is to develop a form of consciousness and a life of staying in the form of comfort from the negative side.

Literature can be seen as a spectrum, due to criticism and that it resumes with more impetus with the work of Mario Levrero in recent decades.

There is talk of Carmen Perelli purposely shows that the life stories of writers are one of the keys for Latin American writers in the last century.

In the book shadows by author Mario Levrero, the mixture of light and shadow contains the myths of writers that become cultural artifacts, where people and characters are shown.

The letters were published since 1977 and two posthumous interviews in 2007 and in these interventions coherence is shown in Levrero’s answers to Levrero’s questions about influence, criticism, writing methods and another work in particular.

The Uruguayan writer uses journalistic protocols and formulas to show poetic art, his manifesto and the reading of the texts.

He also uses writing as a therapeutic conception as a lifestyle and as something transcendental.

We leave this quote about the article «you can choose to use other people’s metaphors, and you will be a classic writer (the rosy-fingered dawn), or your own metaphors.

To use your own metaphors, you can think intensely for some time and bring out all kinds of ingenuity, but the most real and convincing come from within, manufactured by the direct perception of another brain, independent of the conscious and voluntary self.

Art is also like hypnosis and develops creativity. Letters, diaries, printouts and illustrations are part of therapeutic writing, writing is also literature and life, it also shows writing in an individual and therapeutic way.

Writing is like a way of life that is antagonistic day to day even to work, also humorous writing is part of writing and letters are part of therapeutic writing.

So I will be reading almost all of Mario Levrero’s books and enjoying how to use writing to heal from the therapeutic side.

And I give this scientific article a 5.
