Abstract
AGUDELO, Pedro Antonio. Literary Ekphrasis and novelistic architecture: Los cuadernos de Don Rigoberto by Mario Vargas Llosa. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.7, pp.115-131. ISSN 2145-8987.
This paper proposes a different interpretation of the novel Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto by Mario Vargas Llosa, focusing on the rhetorical figure of ekphrasis. It examines the novelistic architecture and verbal and visual representation as pillars of what would constitute a genuine iconoverbal novel. The study is supported by the analysis strategies from literary semiotics, narratology and rhetoric, which allow a comprehensive understanding of subject matter.
Keywords : visual art; architecture novel; literary ekphrasis; praise; iconoverbal novel.
