Cuando “las figuras, perforadas, dejan ver el paisaje”. “Juana y la cibernética” de Elena Aldunate y la memoria de los signos
Journal Title: Itinerarios. Revista de estudios lingüísticos, literarios, históricos y antropológicos - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
The primar goal of the article is to explore some important aspects present in the short story “Juana y la cibernetica” (1963) written by Elena Aldunate (1925-2005). The author of the article points that it is necessary to investigate the discourses which—being in mutual tension—give the structure to the story and which themselves could be restructured in this process. By setting the text in the history we can displace the critical interest raised by the prose of Elena Aldunate from the most popular level of anecdotes, themes and other products of the psychological or biographical type of reading to a real kind of textualization (cf. Robin and Angenot 1991; Robin 1993). Th at statement must be understood as a work approach. Try to explain the need for this return to the socio-historical and also try to open certain ways to follow in future research, hoping that truly interrogate “Juana …” and Elena Aldunate’s writing.
