Resumen En los distintos ambitos educativos, los sujetos suelen tener oportunidades para confrontar su identidad con sus semejantes, los otros u objetos del entorno. El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar sobre la vision de un grupo de estudiantes de Educacion Superior acerca de su propia imagen desde la lectura de las obras de ficcion, estudiadas durante su transito de formacion. La intencion es detectar si su subjetivacion concurre con la configuracion del “ideal de humano”, que encuentra dentro de los textos literarios asignados. La investigacion, de naturaleza cualitativa, se ubica en el espacio de problematizacion de la antropologia historico-pedagogica, especialmente en los conceptos de “el cuerpo” y “el otro”. Mediante los relatos de vida, con el instrumento de una entrevista narrativa, se recogieron los testimonios, que se muestran como comunicacion (no como examinacion) para observar si cada uno ve en la literatura parte de su imagen o se han sentido invisibilizados en esos textos. El desarrollo de la diegesis, propia de los niveles ficcionales y la primera voz de los sujetos arrojo algunas reflexiones sobre la vision del ser al encontrarse a si mismos, o no sentirse suficientemente descritos como motivo composicional de una obra literaria. Palabras clave: autoimagen, antropologia historico-pedagogica, narrativas de investigacion, subjetivacion y ficcion. FICTION AND SELF-IMAGE. AN APPROACH TO THE SELF FROM THE READING OF NARRATIVE TEXTS Abstract In different educational environments, persons often have opportunities to confront their identity with their peers, others or object in environment. The objective of this work is to investigate vision of a group of Higher Education students about their own image from reading of fiction literature, studied during their study period. The intention is to detect if its subjectivation concurs with configuration of ideal of human, which it finds within literary texts assigned. The investigation, of qualitative nature, is located in space of problematization of historical-pedagogical anthropology, especially in concepts of the body and the other. Through stories of life, with instrument of a narrative interview, testimonies were collected, which are shown as communication (not as an examination) to see if each one sees in literature part of their image or they have felt invisible in those texts. The development of diegesis, typical of fictional levels and first voice of subjects, led to some reflections on vision of being when finding oneself, or not feeling sufficiently described as a compositional motif of a literature. Key words: self-image, historical-pedagogical anthropology, research narratives, subjectivation and fiction.
