Intermedialidad y exclusión. De El matadero (1838/9) de E. Echeverría a la escena porteña contemporánea

Abstract

Based on the Argentine short story El matadero, by Esteban Echeverría written in 1838/9, we propose to analyze the various forms of meaning of the themes that cross this textuality, as well as the resig-nifications that it experiences in its passage to contemporary performing arts: El matadero. Un comentario (2009), directed by Emilio García Wehbi and Marcelo Delgado and Manipulaciones III. El banquete (2012), directed by Diego Starosta. To do this, we will concern ourselves with studying the different intermediary strategies that are established between liter-ature, opera, dance, theater and performance, at the same time that we will concentrate on the study of the social, political, geographical and cultural exclusions that the nineteenth-century story proposes to start-ing from his characters and that are recovered and reformulated in the Argentinean scene of the bicentennial
