evil, monstrosity, metaphorAbstract
The existing relations between evil and monstrosity are bonds that have appealed to the attention of philosophers and theologians since Antiquity. To such an inventory of reflections, also belong the possible and conducted approximations, pursued throughout art history, amid monstrosity, metaphor, and literature. The accomplished insights, achieved by means of investigation of evil through the literary discourse, confirm their enduring condition in our contemporaneity. Thus, we present this hitherto unpublished translation, to Spanish, of the essay “Monsters as metaphors of evil”, originally published in 2007 by professor Julio César Jeha (Federal University of Minas Gerais – UFMG). This Spanish translation, also enhanced with an unpublished preface, intends to grant broader visibility to such a theoretical essay within the Latin American backdrop of literary criticism.
