DISTORSIÓN RÍTMICA Y ANAMORFOSIS SENSORIAL: LA LITERARIDAD DE LUCES DE BOHEMIA DESDE EL PRISMA DE LA «PNEUMÁTICA»

Abstract

Alain Riffaud’s works suggest a new critical reading of dra- matic prose: offering a distinct interpretation of Luces de bohemia’s prose dynamics through the prism of ‘pneumatics’ (Riffaud, 2007), the present article brings to light the existence, throughout the play, of a specific rhythm in Esperpento dramatic prose, which relates to the notion of sen- sory anamorphosis (visual and auditory), a polymorphous component that underlies the writing. Applying the notions of ‘pneumatics’ and ‘trompe-l’oreille’ (Féron, 2010) to the study of Ramón del Valle-Inclán’s dramatic prose allows to examine the characters’ language energy by articulating the notions of breath and breathing with that of sensory mirage.
