| Resumo: | This study investigates the presence of the animal in the short story Letter to a lady in Paris (1951), by Julio Cortázar. Through a biopolitical perspective, proposed by Giorgio Agamben, a parallel was established between the domination of the non-human in Western culture and the domination of the human in the contemporary register – a debate installed in the aforementioned narrative. Thus, virtual potencies are found in the Cortezian animal, based on Gabriel Giorgi, among other authors, who harass the oppressive structures of factual reality, reconfiguring the conceptions of humanity and animality in order to reach new economies of life. |
