Teórico y crítico: figuras en escorzo en la escritura de Noé Jitrik.

Abstract

For most literary critics, writing literary theory is an aspiration and a challenge that often cannot be sustained. It obviously implies a capacity for reflection, as well as a particular way of seeing and of writing. However, we believe that these are not the only conditions needed for a person to be considered a literary theorist. There is an additional one: he or she must adopt an ethical and ideological stand. In the case of Noé Jitrik, this condition is clearly displayed in all of his writing, but is present in a condensed manner in a footnote to an article written a the beginning the Seventies. Briefly stated: the critic reveals the theorist.
