| Descripción: | This article analyzes “El perjurio de la nieve” (1944) of the Argentine writer Adolfo Bioy Casares as a proposal of metaliterature. To support this postulate, first of all, it is determined the semantics of the sinister (Das Unheimlich) in the literature as a presupposition of the literary analysis of the story. Subsequently, it is discussed the literary strategy according to which time, space and the characters construct a double narrative dimension of argumentative segmentation. It also explores the literary topos of the double (Doppelgänger) as the further fragmentation of the characters and subtle decomposition of the narrative act into an epistemology that seeks to overcome the subject-object duality. It is concluded that, in contrast, two poetic constructions ambiguously created by the false testimony of the Narrator, hides the persistent imposture of the reality. |
