요약Invisible Specters: Representations of the Fantastic and the Ghost in 20th -Century Spain (1920-1946) seeks to make a significant scholarly contribution within two specific areas of theoretical interest: on the one hand, the critical discourses on the fantastic and, on the other, the relationship between these analytical approaches and the representation of spectral apparitions. Although phantasms are commonly cited as the paradigmatic example of the fantastic, the intrinsic affinity between the two ideas has not been properly addressed and should start with a consideration of their shared etymological origin in reference to fantasy. It would seem that the ghost has a privileged position inside the fantastic genre due to the tension its apparition establishes between a natural and a supernatural order. However, this dissertation argues that, while seemingly questioning any possibility to reconcile these two realms, specters may very well be considered the actual and primordial source of the fantastic. The disquiet their presence conjures implies the invocation of jurisdictions whose incompatibility is analogous to the perturbation of a religious miracle or the distress of a sovereign interruption. In this way, the coming and going of ghosts incorporates not only the transgression that characterizes the fantastic as a literary and film genre but also the religious, metaphysical, ontological, and epistemological repercussions entailed by the intrusive dynamic of otherworldly apparitions.By engaging the notions on hauntology and spectrality proposed by the French philosopher of Algerian origin Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), this dissertation reassesses the interdependence between the fantastic and ghosts within the Spanish tradition. Since there is a commonly held belief about the intrinsic realist nature of Spain's art and culture, the selection of works to be analyzed challenges this conception. The creative corpus to be discussed includes three significant twentieth-century examples of ghostly representations while acknowledging that the fantastic is by definition a popular, although, marginal genre. In fact, several of the creators included in this project have been related not to the canonical and universally praised Generation of '27, but to an alternative, or "other," Generation of '27. As some of these works cross the boundaries established by the Spanish Civil War, the project suggests that there is a chronological continuity which indicates the fantastic's ability to endure the most traumatic historical events. In this instance, the purpose is to examine not only literary representations, but also film adaptations and other visual materials related to the selected corpus. A particularly intriguing notion to be pursued involves the relationship between technology and spectrality. Likewise, the parodic character of the fantastic as frequently noted in Spanish culture is a significant point of reflection. Besides the introduction, the project follows a structure in three chapters and, in addition to a number of visual materials, uses as backbone one play, one novel, and one collection of short stories, all of which had a film version produced in the early 1940s. This graphic component emphasizes that the cornerstone of both the fantastic and the phantasm is the notion of becoming visible and appearing.The methodological and critical introduction discusses the existence and heritage of the fantastic in Spanish literature while presenting some of the different theories about the genre. It further examines the role that the ghost has had on the field of scholarly criticism and considers the theoretical and philosophical postulates on spectrality as established by Jacques Derrida. Among other aspects, it pays attention to time disturbances, the paradoxical embodiment of the invisible, and the idea of the "visor effect" in respect to heteronomic relations.The first chapter of the dissertation analyzes both the play Los habitantes de la casa deshabitada (1942), written by the playwright Enrique Jardiel Poncela (1901-1952), and the 1946 film of the same title directed by the filmmaker Gonzalo Pardo Delgras (1897-1984). One  of the most successful works by Jardiel Poncela, this comedy has had an enduring popular appeal, as manifested in its repeated stagings since its premiere. Thus, when available, the chapter examines photographs and depictions of these versions. The play represents events that take place during a night in which an unlikely duo of protagonists comes across an old house that has been apparently uninhabited for years. At first glance, the isolated manor is the home of ghosts and other supernatural beings, but the action will clarify the true nature of these apparitions. The analysis of Gothic motifs and other parodic devices set the stage for considering other ghostly apparitions that are not fake in the following chapters. The second chapter focuses on the novel La torre de los siete jorobados (1920), by the Madrid-born author Emilio Carrere (1881-1947), and its ensuing film adaptation directed in 1944 by the Count, diplomat, writer, and filmmaker Edgar Neville (1899-1967). Additionally, the chapter considers the recent comic book version which was published in 2021 by the graphic artist David Lorenzo (1971-). Despite being separated by many decades, the novel and its subsequent adaptations closely follow the ideas on the fantastic as developed by the Bulgarian-French philosopher Tvetzan Todorov (1939-2017). In this instance, the ghostly apparition who sets in motion the events provides a significant counterpoint to the simulated specters studied in the previous chapter.The final section focuses on examining the anthology of short stories Fantasmas (1930), written by the Galician journalist and author Wenceslao Fernandez Florez (1885-1964). One of these stories has a film adaptation with the title El destino se disculpa, which was directed in 1945 by the screenwriter and filmmaker Jose Luis Saenz de Heredia (1911-1992). The visual component of this chapter will be supplied by the illustrations Salvador Bartolozzi Rubio (1882- 1950) prepared for the 1930 edition of the work. Fantasmas portrays supernatural apparitions as capable of interaction as any other human character; in fact, some of these entities are the protagonists of the stories. The visionary exercise of the author is of particular interest here. His imagination offers unprecedented glimpses about the innerworkings of the ghostly realm while exploring the challenges and fraught relation with technology that affects and conditions the laws of spectrality. The dissertation finishes with a conclusion and the subsequent list of works cited.

■520    ▼aInvisible  Specters:  Representations  of  the  Fantastic  and  the  Ghost  in  20th  -Century  Spain  (1920-1946)  seeks  to  make  a  significant  scholarly  contribution  within  two  specific  areas  of  theoretical  interest:  on  the  one  hand,  the  critical  discourses  on  the  fantastic  and,  on  the  other,  the  relationship  between  these  analytical  approaches  and  the  representation  of  spectral  apparitions.  Although  phantasms  are  commonly  cited  as  the  paradigmatic  example  of  the  fantastic,  the  intrinsic  affinity  between  the  two  ideas  has  not  been  properly  addressed  and  should  start  with  a  consideration  of  their  shared  etymological  origin  in  reference  to  fantasy.  It  would  seem  that  the  ghost  has  a  privileged  position  inside  the  fantastic  genre  due  to  the  tension  its  apparition  establishes  between  a  natural  and  a  supernatural  order.  However,  this  dissertation  argues  that,  while  seemingly  questioning  any  possibility  to  reconcile  these  two  realms,  specters  may  very  well  be  considered  the  actual  and  primordial  source  of  the  fantastic.  The  disquiet  their  presence  conjures  implies  the  invocation  of  jurisdictions  whose  incompatibility  is  analogous  to  the  perturbation  of  a  religious  miracle  or  the  distress  of  a  sovereign  interruption.  In  this  way,  the  coming  and  going  of  ghosts  incorporates  not  only  the  transgression  that  characterizes  the  fantastic  as  a  literary  and  film  genre  but  also  the  religious,  metaphysical,  ontological,  and  epistemological  repercussions  entailed  by  the  intrusive  dynamic  of  otherworldly  apparitions.By  engaging  the  notions  on  hauntology  and  spectrality  proposed  by  the  French  philosopher  of  Algerian  origin  Jacques  Derrida  (1930-2004),  this  dissertation  reassesses  the  interdependence  between  the  fantastic  and  ghosts  within  the  Spanish  tradition.  Since  there  is  a  commonly  held  belief  about  the  intrinsic  realist  nature  of  Spain's  art  and  culture,  the  selection  of  works  to  be  analyzed  challenges  this  conception.  The  creative  corpus  to  be  discussed  includes  three  significant  twentieth-century  examples  of  ghostly  representations  while  acknowledging  that  the  fantastic  is  by  definition  a  popular,  although,  marginal  genre.  In  fact,  several  of  the  creators  included  in  this  project  have  been  related  not  to  the  canonical  and  universally  praised  Generation  of  '27,  but  to  an  alternative,  or  "other,"  Generation  of  '27.  As  some  of  these  works  cross  the  boundaries  established  by  the  Spanish  Civil  War,  the  project  suggests  that  there  is  a  chronological  continuity  which  indicates  the  fantastic's  ability  to  endure  the  most  traumatic  historical  events.  In  this  instance,  the  purpose  is  to  examine  not  only  literary  representations,  but  also  film  adaptations  and  other  visual  materials  related  to  the  selected  corpus.  A  particularly  intriguing  notion  to  be  pursued  involves  the  relationship  between  technology  and  spectrality.  Likewise,  the  parodic  character  of  the  fantastic  as  frequently  noted  in  Spanish  culture  is  a  significant  point  of  reflection.  Besides  the  introduction,  the  project  follows  a  structure  in  three  chapters  and,  in  addition  to  a  number  of  visual  materials,  uses  as  backbone  one  play,  one  novel,  and  one  collection  of  short  stories,  all  of  which  had  a  film  version  produced  in  the  early  1940s.  This  graphic  component  emphasizes  that  the  cornerstone  of  both  the  fantastic  and  the  phantasm  is  the  notion  of  becoming  visible  and  appearing.The  methodological  and  critical  introduction  discusses  the  existence  and  heritage  of  the  fantastic  in  Spanish  literature  while  presenting  some  of  the  different  theories  about  the  genre.  It  further  examines  the  role  that  the  ghost  has  had  on  the  field  of  scholarly  criticism  and  considers  the  theoretical  and  philosophical  postulates  on  spectrality  as  established  by  Jacques  Derrida.  Among  other  aspects,  it  pays  attention  to  time  disturbances,  the  paradoxical  embodiment  of  the  invisible,  and  the  idea  of  the  "visor  effect"  in  respect  to  heteronomic  relations.The  first  chapter  of  the  dissertation  analyzes  both  the  play  Los  habitantes  de  la  casa  deshabitada  (1942),  written  by  the  playwright  Enrique  Jardiel  Poncela  (1901-1952),  and  the  1946  film  of  the  same  title  directed  by  the  filmmaker  Gonzalo  Pardo  Delgras  (1897-1984).  One   of  the  most  successful  works  by  Jardiel  Poncela,  this  comedy  has  had  an  enduring  popular  appeal,  as  manifested  in  its  repeated  stagings  since  its  premiere.  Thus,  when  available,  the  chapter  examines  photographs  and  depictions  of  these  versions.  The  play  represents  events  that  take  place  during  a  night  in  which  an  unlikely  duo  of  protagonists  comes  across  an  old  house  that  has  been  apparently  uninhabited  for  years.  At  first  glance,  the  isolated  manor  is  the  home  of  ghosts  and  other  supernatural  beings,  but  the  action  will  clarify  the  true  nature  of  these  apparitions.  The  analysis  of  Gothic  motifs  and  other  parodic  devices  set  the  stage  for  considering  other  ghostly  apparitions  that  are  not  fake  in  the  following  chapters. The  second  chapter  focuses  on  the  novel  La  torre  de  los  siete  jorobados  (1920),  by  the  Madrid-born  author  Emilio  Carrere  (1881-1947),  and  its  ensuing  film  adaptation  directed  in  1944  by  the  Count,  diplomat,  writer,  and  filmmaker  Edgar  Neville  (1899-1967).  Additionally,  the  chapter  considers  the  recent  comic  book  version  which  was  published  in  2021  by  the  graphic  artist  David  Lorenzo  (1971-).  Despite  being  separated  by  many  decades,  the  novel  and  its  subsequent  adaptations  closely  follow  the  ideas  on  the  fantastic  as  developed  by  the  Bulgarian-French  philosopher  Tvetzan  Todorov  (1939-2017).  In  this  instance,  the  ghostly  apparition  who  sets  in  motion  the  events  provides  a  significant  counterpoint  to  the  simulated  specters  studied  in  the  previous  chapter.The  final  section  focuses  on  examining  the  anthology  of  short  stories  Fantasmas  (1930),  written  by  the  Galician  journalist  and  author  Wenceslao  Fernandez  Florez  (1885-1964).  One  of  these  stories  has  a  film  adaptation  with  the  title  El  destino  se  disculpa,  which  was  directed  in  1945  by  the  screenwriter  and  filmmaker  Jose  Luis  Saenz  de  Heredia  (1911-1992).  The  visual  component  of  this  chapter  will  be  supplied  by  the  illustrations  Salvador  Bartolozzi  Rubio  (1882-  1950)  prepared  for  the  1930  edition  of  the  work.  Fantasmas  portrays  supernatural  apparitions  as capable  of  interaction  as  any  other  human  character;  in  fact,  some  of  these  entities  are  the  protagonists  of  the  stories.  The  visionary  exercise  of  the  author  is  of  particular  interest  here.  His  imagination  offers  unprecedented  glimpses  about  the  innerworkings  of  the  ghostly  realm  while  exploring  the  challenges  and  fraught  relation  with  technology  that  affects  and  conditions  the  laws  of  spectrality.  The  dissertation  finishes  with  a  conclusion  and  the  subsequent  list  of  works  cited.
