From the interview with Duccio Demetrio emerges a conception of life span, where memories and temporality are substantiated in "internal narrative acts" that take shape through word or writing. "The progressive sedimentation within us of life experiences (...) builds what we are". (Demetrio, 1996, p. 112), triggering a recursive property between the subject that creates its history and the history that creates the subject. Demetrio's contributions are a praise of autobiography, understood as "medicine" and curative enterprise. From a constructivist perspective, the resources of a personal narratology that is fiction are highlighted to the extent that the reality of the story, at the moment it is produced, changes face, taking on the features of the present and one's own personal myth. From here a sort of parallel path between classical myths and individual myths originates in the author's thought.
