| Abstract | This article examines motifs of blindness and corporeal decomposition in Pío Baroja’s best-known novel, Camino de perfección. Through grotesque images of decay and an aggressive sun which blinds, Baroja’s text undermines ocularcentric values and challenges notions of propriety in artistic expression. In essence, the constant recurrence to blindness and the violent nature of the sun contest privileged hierarchies concerning the primacy of vision and subjectivity in literature and art. Considering the persistent fluctuation of narratological voices and viewpoints in Baroja’s 1902 text, both form and content engage in a treatise on multi-perspectivism and difference. Through its unique ethics and aesthetics, Camino de perfección anticipates the transgressive considerations of vision discussed by later European thinkers of the avant-garde, including the French intellectual Georges Bataille. The present study investigates the importance of blindness in Baroja’s volume and demonstrates that through the annihilation of vision, along with the interrogation of the novelistic genre, Baroja’s story of the eye is ahead of its times, surrealist and postmodern avant la lettre. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
