Abstract

The objective of this paper is to observe how Roberto Arlt's ficcional Buenos Aires was built in the text Los Siete Locos and Los Lanzallamas, and through the characteristics of the city which emerges from the narrative, check in what way lhe text of Arlt has a dialogue with the German expressionism. Some
characterisc traces of the expressionism will be captured, ia special in expressionist painting, to recognize them in Arlt's writing. I believe that the space in Arlt's romancess, related to modernity and urbanization as a negative factor, can also be found in the German expressionism in a re-reading which puts in a dialogue the concerns of some German artista together with those of the Argentinian writer.
