“Poética de las variaciones” y ética de escritor en el cuento “La excavación” de Augusto Roa Bastos

Abstract

This article purposes an analysis on the semantic variations that can be found in two different editions of Roa Bastos’ short story La excavación. The aim is to point out the stylistic evolution that characterize the ethic commitment the Roa Bastos always had with the literary act and the use of the “poética de las variaciones” as a figure of speech evident in all of his works and important to understand the real meaning of his ideas.
