Negli occhi dell'Axolotl, ovvero Empatia Astrazione Straniamento

Abstract

Some short stories in the dazzling production of Cortázar and Borges offer crucial experiments in
the narrative translation of the Self in the Other. Methodologically distant but critically integrable
theoretical perspectives (from Worringer to Nussbaum) permit us to investigate them as effective and affective paradigm of the Literary form of empathetic practice, in its irreducible complexity.
