O presente trabalho analisa a presença do tema do olhar em dois contos fantásticos: "El Aleph", de Jorge Luis Borges, e "Las babas del diabo", de Julio Cortázar. Com base nas teorias da intertextualidade e da interdisciplinaridade, o trabalho trata de efetuar uma aproximação entre a Literatura e as teorias do cinema. À luz das reflexões de Serguei Eisenstein e André Bazin sobre a montagem e o plano-seqüência, este trabalho termina por comparar as concepções de realidade e ficção que norteiam as estéticas de Borges e de Cortázar. / This thesis analyses the act of gazing as a literary theme within two short stories of the fantastic genre: "El Aleph", by Jorge Luis Borges, and "Las babas del diablo", by Julio Cortázar. Based on the intertextuality and interdisciplinarity theories, the work tries to perform an approximation between Literature and film theory. After considering the reflections by Serguei Eisenstein and André Bazin on editing and the long-shot, this work finishes by drawing a comparison between the distinct conceptions of fiction and reality, which conforms different sets of literary aesthetics within the works of Borges and Cortazar.
