Abstract

This article discusses the cultural understanding of the fantastic from Julio Cortazar’s work, expressed particularly in their metalinguistic texts, as a Latin American way (and Western) of assuming "the real", which can project the fundamentals of Cortazar's work to the humanities and especially to ethnology.

Keywords: Cortazar, reality, ethnology, fantastic, cross-cultural
