Abstract
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral consiste en plantear un esbozo de una poética de lo fantástico a partir de la comparación de los aspectos que se recogen en los tratados, ensayos y artículos que podemos consultar en la actualidad sobre este territorio de la ficción y de los que deducimos mediante el análisis de los relatos fantásticos de Jorge Luis Borges y de Julio Cortázar. La investigación se divide en tres partes: «Cuestiones previas. El territorio ficcional de lo fantástico», «Análisis de lo fantástico en los relatos de Jorge Luis Borges y Julio Cortázar» y «Esbozo de una poética». La primera se compone de tres capítulos: en el primero se establece una definición de lo fantástico, en el segundo se delimita este territorio ficcional respecto a otros con que suele confundirse ―lo maravilloso, la ciencia ficción y el terror― y en el último se caracteriza la visión de Borges y de Cortázar sobre este tema. En la segunda parte se analiza el tratamiento del acontecimiento fantástico en los cuentos de ambos escritores, teniendo en cuenta los aspectos tratados en una revisión metodológica ―organizada en función de un criterio semiótico― que se desarrolla previamente. La tercera parte se orienta a completar el esbozo de una poética de lo fantástico mediante la comparación de los aspectos analizados en los relatos de ambos autores con los de la propuesta metodológica. El trabajo concluye con un Anexo donde se recoge un resumen y síntesis analítica de cada relato, tras el cual se recoge la bibliografía con la relación de las obras citadas en el trabajo.
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to outline a poetics of the fantastic by contrasting the aspects included in treaties, essays and articles currently available on this realm of fiction with the conclusions drawn through the analysis of the fantastic short stories by Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar. This dissertation has three parts: «Preliminary issues. The fictional realm of the fantastic», «Analysis of the fantastic in the short stories by Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar» and «Outline of a poetics». The first part includes three chapters. In the first chapter, a definition of the fantastic is established. In the second chapter, the fictional realm of the fantastic is characterized against other realms with which it is usually mistaken, such as the marvellous, science-fiction and horror. The third chapter describes Borges’s and Cortázar’s views on this subject. The second part analyses how the fantastic event is treated in both writer’s short stories, taking into account the aspects addressed in the methodological approach previously established following a semiotic criterion. The third part aims to complete the outline of a poetics of the fantastic by comparing the aspects studied in both author’s short stories with those established in the methodological approach. The final section of this thesis consists of an Appendix, which presents a summary and analytical synthesis of each short story, and a list of the works cited throughout this thesis.
