Fronteras estancas, fronteras porosas: del triangolo y la striscia de Buzzati a las orillas en bruma y follaje de Gracq

Abstract

This article aims to examine two imaginary universes which, on the basis of essentially similar anecdotic ground, are constituted in antithetic directions, due to perceptive and writing procedures founded on two very different manners of picturing reality, which develop therefore in a distinct way. A hermetic juxtaposition of elements is evident in the first one, in which the notion of gravity, of limit and profile clearly predominates. In the second, in contrast, a universe is presented in which the experience of contact prevails, as gentle touch and impregnation of the material elements existing in a porous and permeable nature. This allows the depiction in two different ways -antithetic in a certain way- of the experience of the idea of margin and horizon and, along with it, the alterity of existential nature.
