THE FOCUS ON LITERARY AND FILMIC NARRATIVES: LOOKS IN A TALE OF CARLOS LISCANO AND IN AMORES PERROS

Abstract

How the narrative focus occurs in literature and in cinema, and if it's possible to use the same theoretical support to examine it in both written and imagetic texts, are pertinent questions that are open to discussion. This paper approaches some possible relations between the narrative information point of view (The Look) and the information coming form the narrator (the Telling), and the consequent regulation of these informations, both in cinema and in literature. Using as an object of study the tale "Pequeña historia policial" by Carlos Liscano and the movie "Amores perros" by Alejandro Iñárritu, we intend to discuss what look the voice that narrates coats its self when enunciating, covertly or not, in written form or through images, the informations in the narrative web.
