| Résumé: | This work compares the aesthetic manifestations of eroticism in Mexican writer Juan García Ponce’s De ánima (1984) and The Key (1956), a book by the Japanese author Jun’ichirō Tanizaki. García Ponce’s prior approaches to Japanese literature enable an analysis of the scope of Orientalism from the Mexican writer’s perspective, focusing on the dialogue between Tanizaki’s different visions of eroticism. The luminous perspective of García Ponce’s eroticism evokes the shadow represented by Tanizaki’s aesthetics, anchored in the exploration of desire and a gaze that blurs cultural distinctions and shows how the direct opening to the other from the artistic sphere challenges the strictly social Orientalist discourses in Latin America. |
