Uncanny Masculinity Construction

Nancy Mena-Fallas — 2025-05-29

This literary analysis delves into the fascinating convergence between literature and psychology, focusing specifically on the first chapter of the novel La ruta de su evasión (1948) by Costa Rican author Yolanda Oreamuno. Employing a hermeneutic-Freudian approach grounded in Freud’s (1919) theory of the unheimlich (the uncanny), the study examines how the familiar undergoes a disquieting transformation into manifestations of the uncanny, ultimately triggering the emergence of sinister forms of masculinity and femininity that expose the darker recesses of both individual and collective psyche. From the convergence of the uncanny and feminism, the analysis highlights the potential for uncovering a meaningful conceptual framework through which literature written by women may be viewed from a renewed and distinctive perspective.

Beauty and Ugliness in Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges

Gabriel Segura-Ugalde — 2025-05-29

This article analyzes how Jorge Luis Borges reinterprets the classic myth of the Minotaur in his short story "The House of Asterion," exploring the dimensions of beauty, ugliness, and otherness. It emphasizes that Asterion, far from being simply a monster, is a divine and creative being who inhabits his own cosmos, symbolizing a liminal figure between the human and the divine. It concludes that Borges transforms the myth into a philosophical reflection on otherness, perception, and beauty, inviting a reevaluation of these concepts within the realm of symbolism and aesthetics.
