Abstract

The universe of bestiaries, with its formulaic variations and interpolations (complex, seemingly endless), offered a narrative possibility within the framework of hybrid (between the descriptions and the conceptions, all evoked by the mimetical structure of narration). Vilém Flusser and Louis Bec, in the end of the twentieth century, recovering something of the structure of the composition of medieval bestiary, as well as some of his provocative mixed structure to propose a mirror to the man in the deep ocean, the Vampyroteuthis infernalis.
