I28-R145-5092_oai2025-11-17 Pereyra Fedele, Lourdes Magalí 2018-12-21 Distrust invades the reader of Matar al Otro (Killing the Other), written by Rodrigo Cuesta. From the intrigue’s discontinuity, an insistently suspicious reading emerges, as a result of a smart manipulation of language that, disguised as a laughable and innocent game, kidnaps any possibility of rearranging of the parts until the end. Unable to fully interpret the events, readers are subjected to a process of double inquiry. While trying to put together the dispersed, superposed and repetitive fragments of the scene and to deal with the ambiguities, hesitations and dialogic isolation between the characters, the readers must gather and select information that can help them to solve the quandary, assuming an investigatory role, in a sort of police or “detective theater”, which seems to distance itself from most Argentine post-avant garde theater. Inserted in a trilogy that explores forms of distrust in human relations, the analyzed work displays factors that reveal the substance of terror and scorn towards the strange and sinister Other. A socioeconomic regime that annuls the erotic experience of the One (oneself), expressing a predominance of Ares –and not of Eros, as Byung Chul- Han points out- and that annihilates the Other, while simultaneously destroying the One. In a depressive narcissistic society, fear and hate establish the axis of this weak tower, which threats to crumble tragically and vertiginously. La desconfianza invade al lector de Matar al otro, obra del escritor Rodrigo Cuesta. De la discontinuidad de la intriga, emerge una lectura de insistente sospecha, arraigada en una diestra manipulación del lenguaje que, disfrazado de irrisorio juego inocente, secuestra hasta el final toda posibilidad de reordenamiento de las partes. Con la interpretación de los acontecimientos restringida, se somete a los lectores a un proceso indagatorio doble. Mientras resuelve los fragmentos escénicos dispersos, yuxtapuestos y repetitivos, los equívocos, vacilaciones e incomunicación dialógica entre los personajes, el lector debe seleccionar y acumular información capaz de solucionar el dilema intra-diegético, asumiendo un rol indagatorio, en una especie de teatro detectivesco, que parece desear distanciarse del teatro de posvanguardia argentino. Inserta en una trilogía que explora formas de la desconfianza en las relaciones humanas, es posible rastrear en la obra analizada, factores que revelan la sustancia del terror y el desprecio hacia el sujeto otro, extraño y siniestro. Un régimen socioeconómico que anula la experiencia erótica del Yo, en un predominio de Ares –y no de Eros, como indica el pensador Byung Chul-Han-, que aniquila al Otro, destruyendo simultáneamente al Uno. En una depresiva sociedad narcisista, temor y odio establecen el eje de este endeble edificio, que amenaza desmoronarse trágica y vertiginosamente. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/5092 10.34096/tdf.n27.5092 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/5092/4608 telondefondo.

Distrust invades the reader of Matar al Otro (Killing the Other), written by Rodrigo Cuesta. From the intrigue’s discontinuity, an insistently suspicious reading emerges, as a result of a smart manipulation of language that, disguised as a laughable and innocent game, kidnaps any possibility of rearranging of the parts until the end. Unable to fully interpret the events, readers are subjected to a process of double inquiry. While trying to put together the dispersed, superposed and repetitive fragments of the scene and to deal with the ambiguities, hesitations and dialogic isolation between the characters, the readers must gather and select information that can help them to solve the quandary, assuming an investigatory role, in a sort of police or “detective theater”, which seems to distance itself from most Argentine post-avant garde theater. Inserted in a trilogy that explores forms of distrust in human relations, the analyzed work displays factors that reveal the substance of terror and scorn towards the strange and sinister Other. A socioeconomic regime that annuls the erotic experience of the One (oneself), expressing a predominance of Ares –and not of Eros, as Byung Chul- Han points out- and that annihilates the Other, while simultaneously destroying the One. In a depressive narcissistic society, fear and hate establish the axis of this weak tower, which threats to crumble tragically and vertiginously. |
