Abstract(s)
Julio Cortázar and José Saramago create the
poetics of compromise focused on a critique of the Argentinian and Portuguese
dictatorships as paradigms of oppression and censorship. With this study,
based on a comparatist analysis approach, we intend to show how the short
stories “The Second Time Around” and “The Chair” denounce the evils of
dictatorship, shaping fictions that explore the experience of impoverishment of
the self. Cortázar’s text explores the practice of disappearance during Videla’s
dictatorship from a absurd Kafkaesque perspective whereas Saramago’s writing
focuses on the decline of Salazar’s dictatorship as a carnival game. Cortázar and
Saramago assume the relevance of compromise, the aim of which is political
disalienation in order to shape consciences enabling reassessing the evil effects
of disalienating dictatorial regimes.
