Intermedialidad entre texto e historieta. Análisis de un cuento de Antonio Di Benedetto

Abstract

“Aballay”, by Antonio Di Benedetto, is a text with multiple meanings. Its spatial and temporal multiculturalism sets a dialogue and an interaction with other works and it permits the creation of hypertexts. Through the analysis of the tale we intend to think about the connections between man and environment. The intention is to study the tale not only as an example of transculturation but also as a new approach to gaucho literature. The suggested analysis makes possible a comparison between comic and movie adaptation, and a reflection upon differences and similarities between those two media.
