It embodies a revolutionary fictional discourse that reflects violence and ugliness, but also freedom and spectacle. Beyond the perverse implications of the abject, the monster has been linked to an excess of imagination and artificial creation from Aristotle to twenty-first-century cloning. Rogelio Miñana focuses on three of Miguel de Cervantes' most representative works: the short novel \"\"El coloquio de los perros,\"\" the play \u003ci\u003eEl rufián dichoso\u003c\/i\u003e, and the novel \u003ci\u003eDon Quijote de la Mancha\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmploying both close readings and monster theory, Miñana argues that Cervantes' protagonists -- as well as the very discourse that forges them -- are monstrous: extreme, beyond the norm, threatening and threatened, spectacular, and fluid in identity, form, and behavior. Cervantes' pervasive discourse of monstrosity ultimately destabilizes fixed meanings and identities as it interrogates biological, social, legal, religious, and aesthetic orders. As extraordinary beings that test the limits of identity and narrative, Miñana argues, Cervantine talking monsters ultimately reveal the interpretive and discursive nature of the modern subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogelio Miñana is associate professor and chair of Spanish at Mount Holyoke College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.08 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47336090239225,"sku":"9780807892947","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xCePJenU0W9780807892947_9483cbce-bab9-412e-9105-1f1c2329a165.webp?v=1769667153","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/monstruos-que-hablan-el-discurso-de-la-monstruosidad-en-cervantes-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
