| description | The short stories of the writer from Cartagena, Germán Espinosa, are developed under the perspective
of Fantastic Literature, which enable a privileged treatment of the structure of ́the double ́. Thus, the
analysis proposed in this text considers two particular problems: the first, concerning the determination
of the characteristics of the literary double, and the second dealing with the way in which this struc-
ture operates as an axis of articulation for most of Germán Espinosa’s narrative work. Due to this, we
will introduce four perspectives through which the double or Doppelgänger has been developed in the
literary criticism; ranging from Otto Rank ́s psychoanalytical studies (1914), to the mythological criti
- cism of Juan Bargelló (1994) and Antonio Ballesteros (1998), from structural perspectives such as that
of Lubomír Doležel’s (1995), to a vision of the literary double that considers the concept of illusion
(Clément Rosset, 1993). In conclusion, we will analyze a representative sample of Espinosa’s stories in
order to examine their interpretative proximities and distances with respect to these theories of literary
doubling. |

La obra cuentística del escritor cartagenero Germán Espinosa se desarrolla desde la perspectiva de la Literatura Fantástica y aborda, de manera privilegiada, la estructura del doble. Así, el análisis que propone este texto considera dos problemas particulares: el primero, la determinación de las características del doble literario y el segundo, la forma en que los cuentos de Germán Espinosa plantean esta estructura como eje de articulación de buena parte de sus relatos. Para ello, se presentarán cuatro perspectivas por las cuales el doble o doppelgänger ha transitado en la tradición crítica. Se ha pasado de los estudios vinculados al psicoanálisis con la obra de Otto Rank (1914); a la mitocrítica con los estudios de Juan Bargelló (1994) y Antonio Ballesteros (1998); así como perspectivas estructurales como la de Lubomír Doležel (1995); para luego, pasar a miradas del doble orientadas hacia el concepto de la ilusión (Clément Rosset, 1993). Finalmente, se retomará una muestra representativa de cuentos de distintos libros de Germán Espinosa, a fin de acercarlos a las propuestas, encuentros y distancias interpretativas del doble literario.
