Lo cotidiano como objeto de problematización en la narrativa fantástica: una lectura ideológica
Everyday life as a problematized object of study in fantastic fiction: An ideological reading

Summary/Abstract: Within the framework of the cognitive approach to the perception of reality distinguishing betweengrounds and figures, the main aim of this article is to study the foreground of fantastic stories, corre-sponding to elements of everyday life, unlike the figure, which usually is the preternatural motive. Thus,in this work the vision of everyday life proposed by the philosopher Bruce Bégout and the concept “waysof doing” created by the thinker Michel de Certeau will also be applied, as well as settled contemporarytheories of the fantastic. As an illustration of all this, three Spanish short stories presenting ideologicalsignificance and written in different periods will be analyzed: La muerte de Capeto by V. Blasco Ibáñez,La resucitada by E. Pardo Bazán, and Reliquias by A. Martínez Castillo.
