| Sažetak: | This article examines repetition in the narrative texts of Juan Carlos Onetti that take place in the fictional city of Santa María. Adopting a panoramic but detailed view of several novels, the analysis focuses on how repetition empties the meaning of three anchors of identity and guarantors of meaning: literary creation, labor, and conjugal relationships. By removing any linear or progressive meaning, the repetitions create versions of writing, labor, and marriage that reveal a void rather than filling it. The universe of Santa María is redundant by nature, but that redundancy nullifies the myths that seek to prevent the individual from facing reality. |
