ALVARADO BORGONO, Miguel. The fantastic as a mean to the real: Chilean antropological literature readings. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2012, n.26, pp. 81-100. ISSN 0716-5811.  doi: 10.4067/S0716-58112012000200006.

This article links the literary concept of fantasy with the meta-language of Chilean anthropological literature, arguing that the fantastic is primarily a methodological strategy, since it is here is where the real can be concretely expressed from the psychoanalytic conception of reality as the connection between the symbolic and the imaginary.
