Con el presente artículo pretendemos mostrar cómo la autobiografía en España ha sido adaptada como género de interés por algunos autores que han sido considerados como “antimodernos" y, al tiempo, intentar subrayar cómo la “autobiografía antimoderna" contempla nuevas formas de comportamiento del “yo" y de la identidad. Desde este punto de vista, existiría una “identidad antimoderna" que sería reflejada en los textos autobiográficos de estos autores. La identidad antimoderna se plantea como una huida de la modernidad, de la banalidad del “yo" moderno y líquido frente a una concepción “fuerte" de la identidad antimoderna. Hemos elegido a Josep Pla y de José Jiménez Lozano por ser claros ejemplos de autores de textos autobiográficos y manifestar una fuerte actitud antimoderna en sus creaciones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present article I will show how autobiography in Spain has been adapted as an interesting gender by some authors who have been considered as “antimodern" and, at the same time, I will emphasize how the antimodern autobiography looks at new forms of behavior of the “self" on the one hand and the identity on the other. From this point of view, there would be an “antimodern identity" that would be reflected in these autobiographical texts of the following authors as a sign of their work's “own identity". The antimodern identity thus becomes a way of getting out of modernity, of the banality of the modern liquid “self", opposite to a “strong" conception of the antimodern identity. I have chosen Josep Pla and José Jiménez Lozano because of their clear examples of autobiographical texts, demonstrating a solid antimodern attitude in their work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
