Resumen
CASTRONUOVO, Estela. Lote 77, de Marcelo Mininno: el trabajoso oficio de narrar una identidad. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2014, n.50, pp.25-31. ISSN 1853-3523.
The paper aims to investigate about the construction of identity narratives, especially in the show Lot 77, written and directed by Marcelo Mininno, and premiered in the city of Buenos Aires in 2008. I foster to the notion of "narrative identity", as presented by the researcher, specializing in postcolonial studies, Kwame Anthony Appiah, in his book The Ethics of Identity. The author states that historically two identity versions have been confronted: the individual and /or collective and the essentialist one, which considers identity as something given, that it´s necessary to find to build our own lives, and a existentialist version, as which existence precedes essence: first comes into existence, then you need to decide (and build) how what to exist. Appiah believes that both notions are wrong, you need to be located somewhere in the middle: the identity is constructed dialogically, in interaction with those materials provided by the social environment and its institutions. On the other hand, the author fosters to a narrative conception of identity, which take the form of narratives, stories, "scripts" that people use to shape their projects and to tell their own life stories.
