ILLAS RAMIREZ, Wilfredo José Rafael. Teeth of Raquel of Gabriel Jiménez Emán: an abyss in miniature. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.54, pp.105-120.  Epub 03-Jul-2020. ISSN 2395-8669.  https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2018.2.6.

This article aims at understanding the features of Gabriel Jimenez Eman’s minifictional writing from his work Los dientes de Raquel, which are outlined in three dimensions: a) the role played in the architecture of the text, by the starting as a cornerstone in linguistic economy, and discursive concision; b) the importance of the final as paralyzing effect, stroke of the creative genius and the possibility of multiple meanings; and c) the use of suspense and fantasy as fundamental resources in the construction of absurd, ironic, parodic, dreamlike and mysterious atmospheres. From a hermeneutic understanding, it is presented not only the approach to Jimenez Eman’s narrative strategies, but also the examination of the minifiction constituent elements as emerging genre, allowing to observe the character of rupture, fragmentation, game, speed, multiplicity and simultaneity that make the minificcional universe a miniature abyss.

Palabras llave : Gabriel Jimenez Eman; Los dientes de Raquel; minifiction.
