In “Episodio en la huerta...”, Jacinto after one and half month of convalescence, watched his neighbors playing the round “El Milano” and remembers how his cousins played it too. Over all, he remembers the hallucinations that fever has produced to him. In these, certain images of the round are superimposed –the bull, the kite, the rose, the carnation– with others images from the movie La alondra y el Milano. Through these associations, the child tries to reveal the erotic meaning of the round. In such way, the round is not incorporated into his speech to become a song or a game, and it is what the rounds are cited for; the fragments that are repeated are rather images or symbols that become an instrument to become aware of their desire and, at the same time, of his lost childhood. Following the narratological theory of Graciela Reyes’s research on citation, in this paper, I support this thesis: not the game, in the actantial plane, but the citation of certain words or phrases, in the discursive plane, allow the child to find the meaning of his hallucinations and finally, access to the revelation of the mystery, the awakening of the sexual drive.References
