‘Muchas artes’: escultura, teatro y literatura en la poética de Sergio Chejfec

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the ways in which literature and theatre dialogue in Sergio Chejfec’s poetics from the hypothesis that this relation should be considered as a confrontation, a kind of “doing against” which implies a movement of proximity and exclusion, rather than a mere use, assimilation or homogenization. In that sense, we shall return to Baroni: un viaje in order to see how this interaction is posed in the context of the relationship between the narrator-writer and a whole set of artists. Then, we shall show how, through this initial articulation, it becomes central in La experiencia dramática as a way to build the story and to dramatize its potentialities.
