Transgenericidad, metateatro y representación del acontecimiento teatral en Comedia Inmortal, de Pablo Palacio

Abstract

This article analyzes how transgenericity, metatheatre, and the representation of the theatrical event shape generic distortion and the discontinuity of conventional narrative in Pablo Palacio's "Comedia Inmortal." Conducted as a qualitative, document-based study with a descriptive-interpretive scope, this research applies a hermeneutic, interdisciplinary textual analysis bridging literary studies and theatre studies. First, narrative-dramatic hybridization, the alternation of enunciative regimes, and the oscillation between reader and spectator are identified as transgeneric procedures. Second, the figure of the narrator-playwright, compositional self-reflexivity, metalepsis, and the parody of theatrical conventions are examined. Finally, the study investigates the fictional representation of convivio, poiesis, and spectating (expectación), distinguishing it from the actual theatrical event.
