Abstract

The idea of this work is to present situations described on Sergio Chejfec’s tales: “El tes­tigo” and “La experiencia dramática”. Both narratives propose one way to design a map to one tra­jectory. The focus is not in “write a city”, but the important matter is a way to imagine travels through the city. The way the narrator is place in front of the history of the benjaminian-baudelairian flâneur of the 19th century and how is possible to take this perspective from the “actual anonymous”, in which the man who walk the big city today. The work finish with a reflection founded in a text that appear in the blog of the writer, “Parábola anterior”, which name is Lo que viene después, where Sergio Chejfec propose possibilities for literature that have a relation with circulation and creation of internet.
