Resum
This essay presents a semiological study of the character Cide Hamete and attempts to demonstrate that this character is simply a rhetorical procedure in the discursive construction of the novel. It includes a study of the system of fictitious authors in Don Quixote from the viewpoint of the semiology of literature. Examining the praxis in Don Quixote, it studies the construction and disposition of a) the real author in the text, b) the principal narrator, and c) the rhetorical system of the fictitious authors. The concluding summary attempts to justify, from the viewpoint of the principle of discreteness, the polyphonic and discontinuous expansion provided by Don Quixote's narrative system, as a body of successive and concentric recursive procedures.
