Scarecrows (At the reach of everyone) by Oliverio Girondo: The relationship of oneself with oneself as an answer to the tedium of living

Abstract

The analysis of Scarecrows (at the Reach of Everyone) reveals that this text by Oliverio Girondo is unique for its rhizomatic connection of heterogeneous discursive fragments, the dissolution of the root of identity and the irruption of the other. From this perspective the “discursive scarecrows” encloses problems that will be taken up again and amplified in the later writing of this Argentine poet.
