Abstract
This paper conjectures possible itineraries through literary theory and Argentinian literary criticism which have addressed the relationships between literature and visualities. Using a text by Borges and a thesis by Barthes, it frames the issue in a theory of the resistance to literature towards the resistance of the visible to being expressed in language (in terms of Paul de Man). It also attempts a categorization of the ways in which literature is related to visual arts and —in general— with the visible. Finally, it develops a reasoned introduction to the four papers that follow.
