Se analiza la noción del doble, según Sigmund Freud y el psicoanálisis, y su presencia en tres cuentos de Julio Cortázar. Su lectura se deriva de la perspectiva de lo ominoso, una de las posibles lecturas a Cortazár, dada su apertura y la complejidad del tema del doble. Pese de las múltiples variaciones que el doble cortazariano experimenta en diferentes cuentos, mantiene su esencia. This article addresses the notion of the Double, according to Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, and its relation to three Julio Cortazar’s short stories. The texts are read from the perspective of the uncanny, as one of the possible approaches that can be applied to Cortazar’s writings, due to the openness and complexity of the topic of the Double. In spite of the variety of the Cortazar’s Double in the different stories, it retains an essence described here.

Abstract. Cortázar and Saramago: the Representation of Dictatorship and the Strength of Engagement. Julio Cortázar and José Saramago create the poetics of compromise focused on a critique of the Argentinian and Portuguese dictatorships as paradigms of oppression and censorship. With this study, based on a comparatist analysis approach, we intend to show how the short stories “The Second Time Around” and “The Chair” denounce the evils of dictatorship, shaping fictions that explore the experience of impoverishment of the self. Cortázar’s text explores the practice of disappearance during Videla’s dictatorship from a absurd Kafkaesque perspective whereas Saramago’s writing focuses on the decline of Salazar’s dictatorship as a carnival game. Cortázar and Saramago assume the relevance of compromise, the aim of which is political disalienation in order to shape consciences enabling reassessing the evil effects of disalienating dictatorial regimes.

AbstractPerturbatory narration is a new transmedial narratological concept conceived in order to analyze how innovative experimental fictional texts irritate the reader or spectator by transgressing or annulating the rules of the common narrative system. We distinguish three ludic narrative techniques which are sometimes even mutually exclusive, but nevertheless frequently combined in literary and filmic fiction. Perturbatory narration serves to model and systematize a narrative principle which combines devices of these three strategies, in particular of unreliable narration, paradoxical narration and puzzling narration. The dynamic interplay of these devices is illustrated with two short stories by Julio Cortázar, “Continuidad de los parques”/“The continuity of parks” (1964) and “Graffiti” (1980) and the filmic adaptation Furia (1999) of the latter.

Julio Cortázar

With a focus on various translations of the short story ‘Historia con migalas’ by one of the most renowned Latin American writers, the Argentinian author Julio Cortázar, this article describes and exemplifies numerous translational problems with respect to grammatical gender. In spite of the difficulties in Spanish of entirely avoiding gender/ sex references, Cortázar deliberately endeavours (successfully) to hide the gender of the protagonist couple by tricking the reader into a heterosexual, stereotypical mindset until, at the end of the story, he reveals that the couple consists of two women, forcing the reader to reanalyse and reinterpret the entire story. As this article shows, not all translators seem to be aware of Cortázar’s subtle play with grammatical gender, and vice versa - in this case - biological gender and, therefore, entirely miss the quintessence of the story. A relevant question that arises is whether it is possible in the languages under consideration to translate this playing with gender at all, or whether constraints as to the structure of the languages impede it (for example, differences between grammatical gender and natural gender languages). Finally, some evidence is brought forward to address the question of how the (mis)translated short stories were received by reviewers.

 Este artigo se propõe a analisar brevemente a construção do fantástico em Casa tomada como uma ameaça do sobrenatural que desestabiliza a realidade do leitor, com base nas aproximações teóricas do professor espanhol David Roas e das reflexões sobre a estrutura interna do conto elaboradas pelo argentino Julio Cortázar. No intuito de expor o efeito do fantástico sobre o leitor, o conceito do infamiliar criado por Sigmund Freud nos auxiliará em nosso estudo, contudo como estes efeitos não se restringem às explicações do psicanalista austríaco, a teoria do efeito estético de Wolfgang Iser e os apontamentos teóricos de Vincent Jouve serão úteis no desenvolvimento deste trabalho.

Psychoanalytic Theories

In 1922 Sigmund Freud wrote to fellow Viennese author and dramatist Arthur Schnitzler: ‘I believe I have avoided you out of a sort of fear of my double’. Through a series of reflections on this imagined doubling and its reception, this paper demonstrates that the ambivalent desire for his literary other attested by Freud's confession goes to the heart of both theoretical and historical questions regarding the nature of psychoanalysis. Bringing Schnitzler's resistance to Freud into conversation with attempts by psychoanalytically oriented literary scholars to affirm the Doppengängertum of the two men, it argues that not only psychoanalytic theories and modernist literature but also the tendency to identify the two must be treated as historical phenomena. Furthermore, the paper contends, Schnitzler's work stands in a more critical relationship to its Viennese milieu than Freud's: his examination of the vicissitudes of feminine desire in ‘Fräulein Else’ underlines the importance of what lies outside the oedipal narrative through which the case study of ‘Dora’ comes to be centered on the uncanny nexus of identification with and anxious flight from the other.
