Malos modales: tra(d)iciones de Piglia a Arlt

Abstract

The Arltian passion for mixture has a privileged place in Piglia’s work. It is a foundational element of a poetic that works with a combinatory of heterogeneous ingredients. The mixed system that characterizes Arlt’s work is inseparable from Piglia’s texts. Piglia dialogues with Arlt, a writer that constitutes a central link of his traditional series. This essay starts with an hypothesis of Respiración artificial and develops it on the basis of Los siete locos to communicate the texts among them.
