| Summary: | In this book, the author initially proposes a critical review of the narrative work of Uruguayan-Argentine short story writer Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) from the perspective of the category of the border, understood as the discourse of the establishment of Argentine borders constituted throughout the 19th century. Thus, the book consists of verifying how this discourse reverberates in Quiroga’s literary work. To this end, the author draws on critic Ángel Rama’s reflections on transculturation, discussing and appropriating, in a different light, the three spheres of analysis proposed in his model, linguistic, literary and ideological. This book grants a status to Quiroga’s work based on its form, in order to avoid limiting his jungle tales to regionalist or realist readings. |
