| Summary: | <p>This work considers the relationship between physical space and fantastic literaturethrough three main perspectives: setting, narrative techniques and reception. Theyare applied to the study of several of Horacio Quiroga’s and Felisberto Hernández’sshort stories to explain the effect of the fantastic suggested by their texts, consideringit as a passage. This way, space can be the scene where the action takes place in theframework of a possible world, a place altered by the way of writing, or an area ofconfrontation between different conceptions of possible worlds. We develop, from aEuropean point of view, a concept of the “geopoetic of the fantastic”, which analyzesthese aspects that arise from these authors’ way of writing.</p><p> </p>
