GONZALEZ TREVINO, Eridania. Parody and Irony as a Subversion of Tradition on the “Viaje a la oscura ciudad de Cacodelphia”. Acta poét [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.2, pp.147-167.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2021.2.18127.

This research presents an analysis of the dialog between parody and irony, as a gender and a literary modality respectively, through its subversion function in the “Seventh book (Journey the dark city of Cacodelphia)” of the novel Adán Buenosayres by the argentinean writer Leopoldo Marechal. This study starts with an introductory approach to the general context of the novel, where narrative structure, the positioning of the modern man as the hero of the 20th century are discussed, along with the implicit parody in the “Journey to the dark city of Cacodelphia” and its predominant irony, both as subversive elements of transgression of the represented literary canon, in this case by the “Hell” of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.

Keywords : Parody; Irony; Subversion; Hero; Transformation.
