Gramática pulsional: las vicisitudes de la mirada

Abstract

This article presents some reflections around the story Las celadas de Narciso by the Cuban writer Frank Padrón, taking as a theoretical axis the notion of “deceitful love”, one of the most salient components of the lacanian analysis about the scopic drive. Contrary to a hermeneutical interpretation, the objective of this work, following a barthian approach, is to capture some significant effects, derived from the reading of the text, making a special emphasis on the relation between homoerotism and the vicissitudes of the glance.
