IRONIE DE L’HISTOIRE ET AUTO-IRONIE DE L’ÉCRITURE DANS YO, EL SUPREMO DE AUGUSTO ROA BASTOS
IRONY OF HISTORY AND SELF-IRONY OF WRITING IN YO, EL SUPREMO DE AUGUSTO ROA BASTOS

Summary/Abstract: Our paper proposes an analysis of the place and functioning of the initial pasquín in Augusto Roa Bastos’ Yo, el Supremo. We try to demonstrate that this one functions in the same time as a text, being thus included in the narrated history, and as a metatext, offering a reading key for the whole novel. More than this, its ironic role seems obvious to us, anticipating Roa Bastos’ ironic and sarcastic approach of Dr. Francia’s political regime.
