Abstract

124
Stories in "Las fuerzas extrañas" by Lugones are structured around a narrative momentum. In this narrative flection, a situation suddenly becomes weird with no logical explanation. This fracture shows itself as potency (magnitude and force) and emptiness (silence, solitude, obscurity), thus generating in the characters a primary uncertainty which will turn into horror. This horror responds to the experience of an abyssal situation (the infinite). Those who face horror are subject to choose only one of these two possibilities: they either give up to this awe, or they overcome the terror. Our study focuses on the second one. We believe it links some of Lugones’ narrations and Edmund Burke´s considerations on sublimeness.
