Desautomatización y creación

Abstract

In this work we will attempt to apply V. Sklovski's idea of strangeness (ostranenie) to the aspects of literar y creation traditionally attached to the f ield of inspiration, in order to analyze its function within the general process of ar tistic production. From the strangeness' perspective, inspiration is no longer seen as a mythic and ambiguous notion but as a fundamental piece in the successful development of creation, compatible with the application of ar tistic techniques. Therefore, strangeness, generally seen as an effect over the reader, now reveals itself as an imperative creative need, as well as a useful concept to explain the role that each phase of creation --inspiration, technique-- plays for the ar tist.
