Abstract
-
The aim of this dissertation is to establish the contribution of parody in Valle-Inclan's macrotext. This analysis focuses on the narrative and theatrical voice as one of its strategies. It attempts to decipher the reading proposed through the parodic and subversive discourse.;Modernist prose limits the use of parody to a timid transgression of the genre's conventions and the victimization of literary archetypes. In that respect, Modernism prepares the way for the distorting perspective of the esperpento and the destruction of the lineality of discourse. The esperpento represented by Ramon del Valle-Inclan serves as foundation for subsequent novels and plays that symbolize a fictional world distant from referentiality.;The parodic conscience adopts here a conciliatory attitude that enables the reader to face a world and a language tending toward destruction, and to find there a message about reality, despite distortions and ambiguities. These narrative strategies will provoke a displacement of the reader's interest from anecdote to discourse that culminates in the metafictional novel.;Valle-Inclan's parody and irony, in fact, suggest that the rhetoric of fiction is a product of mutations of ironic discourse. In his macrotext the image of reality, instead of being reflected in the mirror of literature, has been refracted through the parodic/ironic voice, thus privileging indirection. Besides this change of perspective, the ironic discourse adopted in Sonatas, Martes de carnaval, Luces de Bohemia and Tirano Banderas exposes the paradoxical aim of supplanting the perception of reality itself. The unique and seductive language of parody comes to be the most expressive alternative open to Valle-Inclan in his times of uncertainty.
