| Résumé anglais |
In her novel Distancia de rescate (2014), the Argentinian writer Samanta Schweblin summons the constituent elements of what has been called ecohorror. Namely, a variation of the horror genre where the ecological theme tangentially crosses the story to become the source or repository of the feeling of horror. In this framework, I argue that the text establishes a poetics of the unknown, where ignorance and doubt mediate the relationship between individuals and the environment. Thus, the aim of this study is to show how elements such as the figure of the double or the psychoanalytic concept of the failed act converge to create a poetics of ignorance, a tool that could allow us to analyze other disturbing fables of ecological terror.
