El quiasmo como desvelo de la otredad: proyecciones especulares y distorsión de la monstruosidad en Los Otros (2001), de Alejandro Amenábar
Abstract
Pivoting around the epicentric character of Grace Stewart, our approach intends to cast a light on the imagery of phantasmagoria, violence and manipulation emerging from the univocal point of view in The Others so as to underline the keys of a necessary deconstruction of the dark mother's central voice in the discourse. Several resisting and peripheral readings as well as figurative marks —the chiasmus being a constant— evince the mother's role as a fallible and schizoid antagonist.
Keywords: chiasmus, ghosts, the others, dark mother, Alejandro Amenábar, point of view
