This contrast is crossed by different conceptions of disgust which affects not only the mind but also the body. We will analyze disgust concerning food, melancholy, and the deciduous corpse. These three points will provide an example of how the interior and the exterior are connected by the repulsive in Beckett's poems. A partir de la lectura de “(W)Horoscope”, seis poemas de Echo’s Bones and Other Precipitates y “La mouche” (Beckett, 2007), en este trabajo se buscará plantear cómo el asco articula la relación que establece Samuel Beckett entre el mundo exterior: lo corpóreo, degradado, caduco, y la interioridad del pensamiento del sujeto melancólico que medita sobre la muerte. Este contraste se encuentra atravesado por distintas concepciones del asco que afectan tanto a la mente como al cuerpo. Nos detendremos en el asco en relación con los alimentos, con aquello que se ingiere y, por lo tanto, ingresa en el cuerpo y afecta la mente; en el asco como hastío y melancolía, que surge de un estado de inactividad que hace pensar en la caducidad y la decadencia; y desde allí se abordará la relación del asco con las concepciones cuerpo-cadáver, la degradación corpórea y la meditación sobre la muerte. Estos tres ejes permitirán ejemplificar cómo el interior y el exterior se conectan mediante lo repulsivo en los poemas de Beckett.
