Entre nuestros ojos y el mundo : asimilación del concepto de espacio en el relato "Walker Brothers Cowboy" de Alice Munro

Abstract

Metaphor produces new ways of access to the world. Fiction engages us in an adventure through time and space where characters readjust their relationships to other characters and to objects. This article draws a parallelism between the perceptual processes triggered off by metaphor and by plot in order to explore the ways in which this short story creates disturbance in the main character´s anchorage to her world once she perceives that the essence of everyday reality, identified with a familiar landscape, will always evade her.
