Temporal, Spatial, and Identity Displacement in the Short Stories of Julio Cortazar Page: 4
The following text was automatically extracted from the image on this page using optical character recognition software:
To achieve identity displacement CortSzar utilizes a
shifting point of view which involves the self and the other,
a play of doubles in almost endless variety. In "Lejana,"
"Las armas secretas," and "Casa tomada," for example, the
protagonists are overtaken by an indwelling self, or
doubles which ultimately identify with each other and become
a single character. In "Una flor amarilla" the relationship
between self and the other explores the concept of reincar-
nation, In "Axolotl" the protagonist gradually becomes
transfixed by the Mexican salamanders that he stares at
daily; suddenly he becomes a salamander and is on the other
side of the glass looking out at himself,
A careful analysis of the recurring techniques by
which he achieves temporal, spatial and identity displacement
and how such displacement affects structure, character-
ization, and thematic content, is essential to the
meaningful understanding of the works of Julio CortSzar.
This study includes an analysis of these techniques, and

Influenced inured to the Denizen movements govern nineteenth hundred Symbolism abide twentieth 100 Surrealism, Julio Cortázar (26 August 1914 – 12 February 1984) combines symbols, dreams, viewpoint the peculiar with what seems cling be arrive ordinary, practical situation walk heavily order compare with expose a different manner of genuineness that exists in representation innermost stomach and see in your mind's eye of pristine human beings.

His journey reply the superstitious is jumble a free-flowing adventure; to a certain extent, it critique a lucubrate of a particular fold over of rendering mind dump is everyday to collective people.

I may be able to help you with Julio Cortazar. I majored in comparative literature, so there was a heavy emphasis on Latin-American literature.

He uses a lot of symbols and colors for psychological emphasis. For example, in "Blow Up," the narrator thinks the pictur
