Through a hermeneutical approach, this paper states that personal identity overcomes the aporetic of time when built as a fictional narrative. First, it proposes that the fictional narrative is inscribed in the mimesis circle. Secondly, that imagination is the faculty that creates the meaning of personal identity as fictional narrative. Thirdly, that it is the imagination that establishes the relation among fictional narrative, semantic innovation, and personal identity. Fourthly, that personal identity as fictional narrative stresses the importance of the narrative, which creates itself as a generator of meanings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By means of an interpretative documentary revision, the paper posits that in Hector Abad Faciolince's Angosta there is a narrative of realism as that which is convenient to the strongest. The relation between narrative and justice in recent academic production is explored; the concept of the just when faced with Angosta narrative is exposed; the novel as a fictional narrative space between fiction and representation of realism is proposed; as a conclusion, it is stated that the novel's plotting takes advantage of the tensions and tragedies of realism and, at the same time, suggests an aesthetic vindication of a different yet unlikely justice.

The paper, by means of a hermeneutic method supported by documentary review, states that, takin intent into consideration, it is no possible a discourse simultaneously political and ironic. It has five sections: first, an analysis of the posture assuming the use of irony in political discourse. Second, a profile of the ironist and his presence in politics as troublesome. Third, the negative and private function or use of irony stressing its political impropriety. Fourth, three types proper of political discourse, which exclude and replace irony: parrhesía, cynicism and post-truth. Finally, the paper closes explaining the political inadequateness of irony.

The two questions this paper deals with an approach to Nietzsche's texts. The first one is:how can be read the Nietzsche's sentence that there are no facts, only interpretations? And the second one is: what can be proposed instead of the subject to think personal identity? This approach is divided in four parts, each one answering a question and taking into account the conflict of interpretation and the ubiquity of language; the consequences of perspectivism for personal identity; the construction of identity as a half-way process between discovering and creating; and the aesthetical proposal of personal identity as an ethic option different to traditional morals.
