Abstract

ANTEQUERA, María Florencia. The performative gaze and the construction of visuality in La torre de los ingleses (1929) of Alcides Greca. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.1, pp.107-135. ISSN 1852-9615.

In this article, we try to establish some links between the edited work of Alcides Greca (San Javier, 1889 - Rosario, 1956) and certain journalistic materials contained in his private file. In fact, we are interested in articulating La torre de los ingleses (1929) and some repercussions in the graphic press of this publication. Our propose pivots in what we call the performative gaze, which reconnects a space and a new subjectivity, in conceiving the travel narrative as a new file of sensations and experiences. Likewise, around visuality we compare this text with another one produced contemporaneously, Veinte poemas para ser leídos en el tranvía of Oliverio Girondo.
