Abstract

The relationship between some literary concepts such as anagnorisis and cataphora in the short film Abduction directed by the filmmaker Mikel Navarro will be discussed. The main function consists of describing some of the essential elements that make up the artistic genre of minifiction, as well as the aesthetic story within the framework of a reality that is in a certain way anticipated and supervened, announced and fulfilled. The spatial and temporal coordinates are subverted and cross the reality that is projected in a paradoxical game of mirrors through the images and the intertext of the main characters.

It would not be a stretch to predict that the line between the real and the imaginary is diluted through a language in suspension, full of silences and divinations beyond the tangible; therefore, the notion of time is altered from the past because it is analysed in a present with a future projection.

Proposals are made for didactic work in the Translation and Communication classroom based on the viewing of a short film full of literary resources to consolidate the linguistic theme.
