La violencia puesta en escena: Información para extranjeros, de Griselda Gambaro. Intersecciones entre las estrategias espaciales empleadas en esta obra de teatro y en los videojuegos

This essay aims to be a study of the phenomenology of violence and its staging in a concrete play by the Argentinean writer Griselda Gambaro, Información para extranjeros. Crónica en 20 escenas, which dates from 1973. The essay deals with the analysis of a particular thematic aspect related to the plot. However, our purpose goes beyond this issue. The visual and auditory perception of violence constitutes the nucleus of this drama, which is usually perceived in a diffuse way by readers at first sight. But, in fact, it harbours a unitary and precise sense. We are trying to study this subject in depth on the following pages. And apart from this, we are going to go deep into the digital universe, through a study of the contact points between the spatial strategies used here, and the typical ones in video games.
