Abstract
RESUMEN:
La historia de la literatura uruguaya está recorrida por dos líneas narrativas: una de corte realista y otra de corte imaginativo. Estas dos tendencias se extienden desde el siglo XIX hasta el presente. Este artículo centraliza la temática del miedo en algunos cuentos dentro de la segunda línea narrativa. La del perfil imaginativo. Los principales temas de la misma son: lo secreto, el extrañamiento y lo marginal. El miedo como tema se manifiesta mayoritariamente dentro de esta vertiente. La mayoría de las veces éste aparece ligado al uso del silencio como recurso narrativo. Aquello que no se dice o se oculta es el recurso generador del mismo visualizado en espacios urbanos o acciones cotidianas. Dentro de la literatura uruguaya este tópico no es un efecto buscado por el autor, sino un producto de los hechos narrativos. Emana de la construcción de los relatos y se relaciona con un interés por mostrar zonas ocultas de la realidad.
ABSTRACT: The history of Uruguayan literature reveals two narrative tendencias: one of them realist, the other imaginative. Both tendencies can be traced from the nineteenth century to the present. This article focuses on the subject of fear in various short stories from the second narrative line, based on the imagination. The principal themes of this tendency are: estrangement, what is hidden and what is marginalised. Fear as a theme emerges principally within this imaginative tendency in fiction. It is usually related to the use of silence as a narrative strategy. What remains unsaid or hidden is the strategy used to generate fear in urban spaces or everyday actions. Within Uruguayan literature, this motive is not so much a strategy consciously used by the author as a product of the narrative events. It arises from the process of construction of the short stories and is linked to an interest in showing hidden zones of reality.
