Kingdom of Men, Animal World: Animal Presence in Antonio Di Benedetto’s Shorts Stories
Abstract
The presence of animals, both domestic and wild, is a constant in the narrative of the Argentine writer Antonio Di Benedetto. The presence of the irrational assumes various functions, while it shapes a kind of personal symbolism, whose meaning, intrinsic to the work, but also in relation to universal culture, may still be deepened from different angles. In this sense, it intends to delve into the symbolic significance of the animals on the brief narrative of the author, to illuminate the interpretation of his dense work as well as that of his poetics.
