Lectura narratológica de los elementos metaficcionales de la película de James Cameron 'Terminator' (1984), tomada como modelo acabado de la lógica de la retroactividad característica de las estructuras narrativas. Nos centramos en la relación existente entre la estructura temporal del relato y la lógica de la narratividad, en el papel estructural de los motivos de circularidad o de 'autogénesis', y en los ecos de la mitología cristiana evocados por el argumento de la autogénesis, amén de otras alusiones intertextuales.

English Abstract: 

The Self-Begettor

This is a narratological reading of the metafictional elements in James Cameron's film 'The Terminator' (1984), taken here as a prime example of the retroaction which characterizes narrative structures.The paper focuses on the relationship between story time and the logic of narrativity, on the structural role of the suggestions of circularity or 'self-begetting', and on the Christian echoes underpinning the 'self-begetting' plot, together with other intertextual allusions.
