Abstract:
Spanish abstract: Proporcionamos en este artículo un acercamiento narratológico al 'Arte de la Guerra', clásico chino sobre estrategia militar atribuido a Sun Tzu (Sunzi). Esta lectura enfatiza las dimensiones cognitivas del texto, entendido como un tratado sobre la perspectiva y el punto de vista, y como una formulación temprana del concepto de perspectiva dominante o 'topsight'. También examinamos sus estructuras temorales implícitas, en especial en lo referente al papel de la retrospección. El texto de Sunzi tiene, en suma, una interesante dimensión como teoría de la perspectiva, de la acción, y de la representación intersubjetiva.
