SUMMARY:

The affinity between the literary text and the images, placed in dialogue, during the reading of the narrative La invención de Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares, serves as an axis for the presence of the uncanny and hesitation. The possibilities of this effect also extend to Frida Kahlo’s fragmented self-portraits that, through the mirror, addres in painting her various "selves", her physical and emotional pain. Immersed in these contexts, a comparative study is sought between the novel La invención de Morel, published in 1940, and two self-portraits by Frida Kahlo, The two Fridas and The Dream (The Bed), painted in 1939 and 1940, respectively. Thus, we intend to verify the effects that the uncanny and the double trigger in the duality of life and immortality. The theoretical and methodological basis for the analysis will be the texts of Michel Foucault (1992, 2001), Tzvetan Todorov (2017), Remo Ceserani (2006), David Roas (2014), among others, as well as the biographies written by Hayden Herrera (2011) and Andrea Kettenmann (2001). This study allowd us to carry out an innovative analysis of the uncanny and the double in the works of the Mexican artist and the writer from Buenos Aires, investigating how these elements impact the themes of death and immortality. Through the intersection between words and images in self-portraits, diaries and simulacra, seeking to unravel how art transcends the limits of reality, confronting the real with the imaginary.
