Intergeneric relationships in Fernández de Lizardi’s work (about journalism, narrative and other implications)

Abstract

This paper analyses the relationships that, in Fernández de Lizardi’s framework, are established between journalism, searched as a basic tool of reference, and several major and minor literary genres, mainly narrative, which are used due to their literary and social utility from a pragmatic viewpoint. It aims to highlight the organic character in their production and to offer, at the same time, an overview, avoiding the insistence on the particular study of a certain genre.
