PASTOR, Sheila. SANTO REMEDIO OR THE LOGIC OF REALITY. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.12, pp.26-35. ISSN 2145-8987.

This article aims to study Santo Remedio, novel published by the Uruguayan writer Rafael Courtoisie in 2006, from the perspective of different theories of postmodernism (Lyotard, Jameson). Once we have the theoretical framework that will give us the essential keys to enrich the interpretation, we focus on the analysis of the work, with emphasis on structural and formal characteristics, marked by the influence of audiovisual genres. Finally, we will illustrate its symbolic potential to show the logic that governs the narrative universe of Courtoisie, characterized by violence and fragmentation.

Keywords : Santo Remedio; Rafael Courtoisie; postmodernism; esthetics of video clip; fragmentarism.
