Intertextualidades fantásticas: control social y represión cultural en Héctor Urdangarín y Ray Bradbury

Abstract

This article develops an exercise of comparative literature between two short-stories of Héctor Urdangarín (Mercedes, 1903 - Montevideo, 1983) and the novel Fahrenheit 451 of Ray Bradbury (Illinois, 1920 - Los Ángeles, 2012), based in the study of the fireman as a representative figure of the repressive State apparatus (framing these fictions in the fantastic literature, understanding this from a broad theoretical perspective) and the repression against the culture. As a theoretical framework contributions, about the social control of the state apparatus and devices on the individual are taken from Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault and Slavoj Zizek.
