COLOMBI NICOLIA, Beatriz. El viaje y su relato. Latinoamérica [online]. 2006, n.43, pp.11-35. ISSN 2448-6914.

The article focuses on travel writing features, discussing common places about being an amorphous, referential, transparent and fact narrative. Considering latest contributions to this matter as well as the fact that genres are conditioned by communicational pacts and reading conventions, the work is oriented toward the delimitation of structural continuities, tropic complexion, topological configuration, narrator competence and roles, generic frontiers with the autobiography and the novel, and, finally, the amphibious status between fact and fiction.
