Abstract

This paper analizes Mi país inventado from Isabel Allende (2003) as a case of textual mutation from chilean identity essay, demonstrated in the progress of an experimental procedure or writing learning, since the author intends to work on an essay text type, but in this process flows into a generically ambiguous writing overlapped with other stereotyped forms as autobiography and confession, revitalizing the identitarian discourse in the context of national bicentennial.
