La destrucción del rostro y de la identidad en el desierto y su semilla de Jorge Baron Biza

Abstract

The assault against the countenance of the beloved and lost woman retrieved in the account “The dessert and it´s seed”, by Jorge Baron Biza, allows the reader to reflect upon the patterns and mechanisms of identity building in such novel and in our own culture in general; instead of focusing in the body, the face, the personality and the singularity of every human being. Likewise, it means to stablish relations between Arcimboldo´s paintings, to become aware of the meaning of the references that underlie the story with respect to his pictures.
