Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the dynamics of vision in the
fiction of Julio Cortazar can be successfully analysed as paradigmatic of
phenomenological ontology. A close and comprehensive reading of Cortazar's
oeuvre reveals that his models of visual perception are consistently framed by
questions of being. Although reference is made throughout to a broad range
of studies which treat perception and ontological concerns, the theoretical
basis of this thesis is predominantly drawn from the work of Jean-Paul Sartre
(1905-1980), Edmund Husserl (1858-1938), and Martin Heidegger (1889-
1976).
