Por el camino de Gombrowicz: apuntes para la interpretación de Pornografia

Abstract

The article offers a study of the narrator in the novels Pornografia, by Witold Gombrowicz, and La nausée, by Jean-Paul Sartre. It is posible to make this kind of analysis thanks to the proved interest of the Polish writer in such concept as the “Other’s look’, also fundamental for the Sartre’s philosophic works. The article shows that in spite of the common existentialist ground each writer concentrates on some individual problems, and this difference determines the principles according to which the narrated umverse of each novel is ruled.
