| Summary: | A chapter of the book "The Semiotics of a Bourgeois Society: An Analysis of the "Aguafertes Porteñas" is presented. It focuses on the lexicon with the essays of Roberto Arlt which serves as a cultural reference that provides insight into his views on Porteño culture. The author notes the insistence of Arlt upon the use of slang in his essays as a statement against what he considers to be the hypocrisy of literary writing. He makes a point of solidarity by including lunfardo in his texts. |
