La imagen de autor de Joaquín Sabina. Estudio conceptual y perspectiva diacrónica

This article examines the image of the Spanish singer-songwriter Joaquín Sabina as a literary author. To this end, the main theories related to the author’s image are first reviewed to establish which concepts and terms are most operative for this study. Following this state of the art, Sabina’s authorial image is approached from a diachronic perspective and an authorial project is identified, dominated primarily by an image of a rebellious scoundrel and mainly integrated by the authorial posture of the prototypical singer-songwriter, the nocturnal debauchee fond of vices, the poet, and the old man.
