Opis

This overview of parodic praxis in the Spanish-American novel during the years 1960-1985 examines several aspects of parody: its role in the renovation of anachronistic forms of discourse (mock-epic) and the rewriting of the canon of the historic novel; its function in transgressing literary formulas 9detective novel); its "subversive" quality in the counter-discourse of women writers; and the relation between parody, satire, irony, homour and metafiction. This analysis of some 25 novels, illustrated by works relatively little treated in critical discourse, takes as its theoretical basis the works of the Russian Formalists and Linda Hutcheon's theory of parody.
