The body in vilo: another approach to the fantastic stories of Julio Cortázar
Abstract
The article proposes a new approach to Julio Cortázar's short story through the analysis of the role of the human body as a catalyst for the fantastic dialectic of narration. The study is based on two preliminary reflections: on the one hand, the observation that the character's body constitutes an intermediate element and, on the other that the body becomes an instance of mediation between them.
