This article will analyze the use of autofiction in the novel Sangre en el ojo, by the Chilean author Lina Meruane. In this work, the resource does not only have the goal to confuse the reader, but it also projects the fiction onto the represented world, seeking to critique it. There will also be examined the correlation between autofiction and posmemory writing, since both intend to question the relation of History with fiction, as well as to move the enunciation locus, allowing marginalized subjects to express their experience. In conclusion, we will try to demonstrate that the nominal and biographical coincidence between the author and narrator in Sangre en el ojo has, in addition to a playful characteristic of autofiction, a critic and questioning intention about the contemporary world and the narratives that shape it.
