Abstract
Resumen: Hannibal se presenta como un paradigma de las transformaciones que han sufrido las ficciones contemporáneas en los últimos años al introducir al otro, al villano, como protagonista del relato. La identidad del caníbal se conforma mediante conceptos culturalmente contrapuestos y se sitúa en un continuo entre: entre el bien y el mal, entre la monstruosidad y la humanidad, entre el horror de los crímenes que comete y la estetización y el preciosismo de cómo los presenta, entre la recreación de una exquisita alta cultura (gastronomía) y la animalidad y el salvajismo (canibalismo) que puntúa todos y cada uno de sus episodios.Abstract: Hannibal is presented as a paradigm of the transformations that contemporary fictions have undergone in recent years by introducing the other, the villain, as the main character of the story. The identity of the cannibal is formed by culturally opposed concepts and is placed in a continuous between: between good and evil, between monstrosity and humanity, between the horror of the crimes he commits and the aestheticization and preciousness of how he presents them, between the recreation of an exquisite high culture (gastronomy) and animality and savagery (cannibalism) that scores each and every one of its episodes.
