Juntos, pero no revueltos. El personaje colectivo en el "Persiles"

[Machine translation] Persiles and Sigismunda, like good epic heroes, are accompanied on their pilgrimage to Rome by a group of characters, who are shaped as they find new travelers. This collective character has internal dynamics that regulate its constitution and its successive manifestation, for whose analysis I will use some concepts of social psychology; these dynamics make him a kind of supercharacter, polyhedral, capable of highlighting the various facets of the secondary stories he is listening to, thanks to the multiplicity of perspectives to which they submit them in his judgments. In turn, this group will enter into a relationship with other groups, adjuvants or antagonists to their action, whose typology I study here, following the Canetti classification, to understand the differences between the first and second parts of the work. Both the physiognomy of the supercharacter and the typology of the other groups will undergo a change between the two parts of the book, between the north and the south, in line with the change in the narrative subgenre of the work.
