THE DIALOGIC EROTISM IN MARIO VARGAS LLOSA’S BOOK GREETINGS TO THE STEPMOTHER

Abstract: Using studies about erotism (Bataille, Baudrillard and Maingueneau) and dialogism explored by Bakhtin, we proposed to analyze the parafrastic dialogic mechanism which is focused by Fucs and Afonso Romano de Sant’Anna. We aimed to research the Mario Vargas LLosa’s book Greetings to the Stepmother. In this book, verbal and visual establish an insistent dialogue, due to the fact that every two chapters are opened by a classical painting. This painting is a summing and anticipating paraphrase of the verbal conditional which is coming after and it places a fundamental role Llosa’s production since the reiteration of the same – different languages but with the same sense – is the way through which the book goes on.   Keywords: Erotism. Seduction. Dialogism.
