París, ciudad del (des)encuentro

Abstract

One of the most common problems that arouses at the time of defining the urban space is the definition of the city limits. The city has a strongly metonymical character and capacity that contributes to create a very complex image of urban space in modernity. In our opinion, one of the most interesting examples is the Paris depicted in Rayuela, where the city becomes a woman, a text, a library, etc., in short, a complex metaphor delimited by the dialectics of matches and mismatches between the different levels that converge in the narration.
