  In this paper, the recently-introduced ELKO and the well-known Dirac spinor
fields will be compared; however, instead of comparing them under the point of
view of their algebraic properties or their dynamical features, we will proceed
by investigating the analogies and similarities in terms of their geometrical
character viewed from the perspective of torsion. The paper will be concluded
by sketching some consequences for the application to cosmology and particle
physics.
