Abstract

LESPADA, Gustavo. Figuras del deseo (Erotismo y significación en la narrativa de Felisberto Hernández). CELEHIS [online]. 2022, n.44, pp.12-12. ISSN 2313-9463.

The atypical narrative of Felisberto Hernández (1902-1964), marked by divergence and ambiguity, also establishes a unique relationship with desire, in many ways opposed to the common ingredients of the erotic story. Caricature-like and even ominous features can arouse a sensual and transgressive appetite- an obsession that reaches objects -in the main narrator of his short stories, always under the cloak of amphibology and curiosity. It is our intention to highlight this aspect of his writing by means of a detailed survey of the figurations of desire throughout his entire work to, and then to focus on a short story that exceeds and culminates his particular siege on eroticism: “Ursula”.

Keywords : writing; desire; eroticism; procedure; Felisberto.
