La interferencia de la entidad animal en la psiquis del hombre en el cuento "Muerte por alacrán" de Armonía Somers

Abstract

The article analyzes the interference of the animal entity in the speech of the characters in the story “Muerte por alacrán” by the Uruguayan writer Armonía Somers, which belongs to the book La rebelión de la flor (1994). In the analysis it can be seen how Armonía Somers plays with the construction of pairs and opposites, visible between the characters and the spaces, in a consequent chain of denaturing reality. In this sense, the discursive projection that arises from this encounter is that of the mutant, at times exercised in the animal territory, at others in that of the human.
