CHAZARRETA*, Daniela Evangelina. Tapiz y cifrado: tradición clásica en tres cuentos de Julio Cortázar (1951-1956). Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.1, pp.54-54. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe054.

In this paper, we consider the classical tradition significance in Julio Cortázar's “Circe”, “Las ménades” and “El ídolo de las Cícladas”. The hypothesis is that the classical tradition appears with two important stamps: firstly, the classical tradition is an authority quote that allows the entry of high culture in Cortázar's aesthetics; secondly, this tradition is connected with magic and mythic thought so valued in the poetry and world view of this writer, in which the Latin American experience and history has a particular place. To arrive to these results, we begin with the theoretical framework beyond the classical tradition category and we continue with the short-stories analysis.

Keywords : Classical Tradition; Julio Cortázar; Short Story.
