Sumario:This article explores the continuities between the civil and authorial name—understood in their legal, sociological, and philosophical dimensions—and the philosophical-pragmatic differential index of the fictional name. This exploration is intended as a cornerstone for subsequent inquiries into objects that hybridize these types of personal names, such as the literary device of autofiction. The central hypothesis is that the legal, sociological, and philosophical functions of the authorial and the civil (or social-legal) name are broadly analogous—contrary to Foucault’s (2010) well-known postulates—whereas fictional names present a difference of function (Orlando, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2021), though not of nature. The aim of this study is to clarify the respective statutes of each type of name, in order to better trace the fluid transactions that sometimes occur between extra-textual (civil-factual) nominal positions, authorial ones bordering on discourse (Foucault, 2010), and diegetic ones at the very core of the text.
