Abstract This thesis explores the symbolic relationship between food, sexuality, and cannibalism from a psychological and psychoanalytic perspective on the one hand, and from a critical and literary perspective on the other, understanding nourishment as the initial core of pleasure, desire, and aggression. The first chapter develops a theoretical framework that explains how orality grounds the sexual drive and how, from that same matrix, the cannibalistic fantasy emerges as an extreme form of incorporating the other. The second chapter applies these categories to culture and literature, showing the persistence of these motifs in both universal and Hispanic American imaginaries, based on analysis of Hispanic American short stories that I am going to analyse in the last chapter (El almohadón de plumas by Horacio Quiroga; Circe and Las ménades by Julio Cortázar; and Paladar by Solange Rodríguez Pappe) to demonstrate how Hispanic American narrative articulates eating, desiring, and devouring as fundamental axes in the representation of the body and transgression. Keywords: Food; Sexuality; Cannibalism; Psychoanalysis; Hispanic American Literature.
Resumen Esta tesis explora la relación simbólica entre comida, sexualidad y canibalismo desde una perspectiva psicológica y psicoanalítica por un lado y crítica y literaria por otro, entendiendo la alimentación como núcleo inicial del placer, el deseo y la agresión. El primer capítulo desarrolla un marco teórico que explica cómo la oralidad funda la pulsión sexual y cómo, desde esa misma matriz, surge la fantasía canibalística como forma extrema de incorporación del otro. El segundo capítulo traslada estas categorías a la cultura y a la literatura, destacando la persistencia de estos motivos en los imaginarios universales e hispanoamericanos, a la luz del análisis de cuatro cuentos hispanoamericanos que voy a estar desarrollando en el tercer apartado (El Almohadón de Plumas de Horacio Quiroga, Circe y Las Ménades de Julio Cortázar y Paladar de Solange Rodríguez Pappe) para demostrar cómo la narrativa hispanoamericana articula comer, desear y devorar como ejes fundamentales de representación del cuerpo y la transgresión. Palabras claves: Comida, Sexualidad, Canibalismo, Psicoanálisis, Literatura hispanoamericana.
