Abstract
El presente trabajo tiene co-
mo objetivo abordar el uso de la para-
doja en la obra de Eduardo Galeano Es-
pejos. Una historia casi universal (2008).
Mediante la selección y el análisis de al-
gunas de las secuencias que componen
el libro, se pretende demostrar que la
presencia de este recurso estilístico no
es un mero acto gratuito, sino que res-
ponde a una función clara: ante una his-
toria raptada por los vencedores, la pa-
radoja es el arma de los vencidos;
muestra las contradicciones y taras del
sistema, a la vez que es una herramien-
ta para la autoafirmación de los recha-
zados por éste.
The present academic work aims at the analysis of the use and purpose of the paradox in Eduardo Ga- leano’s book Mirrors. Stories of almost everyone (2008). By means of a prior selection, some of the pieces which compose the book will be evaluated in order to prove the fact that the pres- ence of this stylistic device throughout Galeano’s work is not a mere conse- quence of gratuitousness or ornamen- tation, but rather a literary tool that the author employs deliberately. In front of a History monopolised by vic- tors, the paradox is the weapon with which the defeated can demonstrate systems’ contradictions and faults. It provides them, simultaneously, the path to self-affirmation and empow- erment.
