MÁS ALLÁ DEL ENSAYO: CRÍTICA, TRANSTEXTUALIDAD E IRONÍA LÚDICA EN LOS CUADERNOS DE DON RIGOBERTO DE MARIO VARGAS LLOSA

Abstract

In Mario Vargas Llosa’s Los cuadernos de Don Rigoberto, literary and artistic genres intertwine to create a transgressive imaginary that goes beyond reality and is encoded around themes such as relationships, emotions, and desires, particularly within the realm of the unconscious and the forbidden. This study proposes to examine how the relationship between different texts and expressive media is configured through intertextuality within a critical approach that develops the theme of narration, which is transgressive not only in the realm of values and ideas but also in the formal character of the work. The article seeks to demonstrate how this process leads to the production of new textualities and meanings through a play of ironic distortions that renew any code within an established system, whether social, literary, or artistic, and how the creation of transtextuality derives from open dialogue and a constant pursuit of freedom, including formal freedom.
