Summary/Abstract: The starting point of this paper is based on the observation that, despite the abundance of studies on autobiographical texts, there is a lack of research dealing with these texts from the perspective of their length. Filtered through this parameter, a separate category within the genre emerges: short autobiographical texts. This paper supports the usefulness of this kind of approach, proposes a definition of this category and an analysis of its features, using the example of other autobiographical forms in order to point out differences between these and short autobiographical texts. The paper provides several considerations that could trace a path towards a theorization of the short autobiographical discourse.
