Resumen

Este artículo demuestra la eficacia de las narrativas autobiográficas acerca de derechos humanos en conseguir atención y apoyo global gracias a su llamada a la empatía. Me centro en los textos autobiográficos de la Premio Nobel de la Paz Malala Yousafzai y en su impacto en vidas dentro y fuera de sus páginas, de naturaleza primordialmente empática. El artículo atiende especialmente al blog que escribió de niña y a su autobiografía de juventud, buscando dar luces sobre las estrategias narrativas empleadas en ambos. Los textos autobiográficos nunca son neutrales, lo cual permite al lector verse desde otro punto de vista y moverse a la acción. El equilibrio entre dar testimonio y participar depende en gran medida de la capacidad del texto de promover un vínculo emocional.
