The present article analyzes the relationships between Manual de zoología fantástica (1957) by Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero and the visual transposition of the Mexican artist Francisco Toledo. In particular, the selection of both narratives, verbal and visual, collected in the volume Zoología fantástica, is analyzed from those paintings that stand out for their divergence in terms of representation with respect to the accompanying text. First, the arrival hypertext will be examined as a cross-cultural product (Hutcheon 2011) characterized by the domestication and "mexicanization" of the universal trait of transcoded borgean animals. The next step is to analyze the volume as an only one artistic sign (Lotman 1982), the result of a process of adaptation that modifies experience of receiving both hypotext and hypertext.

Abstract
The present article analyzes the relationships between Manual de zoología fantástica (1957) by Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero and the visual transposition of the Mexican artist Francisco Toledo. In particular, the selection of both narratives, verbal and visual, collected in the volume Zoología fantástica, is analyzed from those paintings that stand out for their divergence in terms of representation with respect to the accompanying text. First, the arrival hypertext will be examined as a cross-cultural product (Hutcheon 2011) characterized by the domestication and "mexicanization" of the universal trait of transcoded borgean animals. The next step is to analyze the volume as an only one artistic sign (Lotman 1982), the result of a process of adaptation that modifies experience of receiving both hypotext and hypertext.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
