El mundo existe para acabar en Cinelandia (a propósito de El incongruente)
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the intense relationship between cinema and literature in Gómez de la Serna’s El incongruente, within the general project of the so-called «novelas de la nebulosa». For this purpose, we will try to connect the author’s theoretical writings —specially some of his Ismos—, with other novels, with particular attention to El novelista and Cinelandia. Furthermore, we will try to establish the similitudes between the main character of El incongruente, Gustavo, and Charles Chaplin’s Charlot from a metafictional perspective. Finally, we will try to situate this interdisciplinary approach within the general context of the avant-garde, specially surrealism.
