REAL WONDERFUL or FANTASTIC? A READING OF LA FURIA Y OTROS CUENTOS,
BY SILVINA OCAMPO
The general objective is to verify if the referred texts by Ocampo constitute or not examples of the
marvelous realism, through the analysis of the narrative strategies explored by the author.
Starting from this idea, I will seek to present the theory of the fantastic and its developments
in Gothic literature, as well as the theory of marvelous realism in the literary context of
Latin America and Argentina. There is also an attempt to elucidate the main strategies explored
in fantastic writing (“strange” or unheimlich, double, real and abject) to verify their possible
presence in Ocampo's texts.
