Countering Meta-narratives in Julio Cortazar's Cronopios and Famas

Panel: 
Spanish and Portuguese (Latin American) I: Autores canónicos
Abstract: 

Julio Cortazar’s Cronopios and Famas counters meta-narratives of progress and knowledge through experimental structure, thematic concerns, and deconstructive symbolism. With an absurdist twist, the author’s insertion of meta-fiction questions the seeming obviousness of rationality and the role of the author.
