Discusiones en torno a las relaciones entre literatura y cine en la escritura experimental de Antonio Di Benedetto

Abstract

This paper discusses the relation between Antonio Di Benedetto’s so-called “experimental literature” and cinematography. The starting point is regarding film-making as an artistic expression that was central to the 1950s scene; i.e., as a wide-ranging cultural phenomenon with distinct projections on mid-century literature. On the one hand, this view accounts for certain aspects in the two literary movements associated with the Mendocinian author: French objectivism and interwar American novel behaviourism. On the other hand, it sheds light on many formal and thematic features in his texts.
