Main Article Content

Abstract

The current research intends to analyze Enrique Lihn´s novel Batman en Chile. The work studies the relevance of the heroic myth´s resemantization (in the sense of deconstruction, of reconfiguration and/or of reaffirmation) produced by the use of textual strategies as irony, conceptual humor, intertextual references from pop culture and the abuse of bad taste and kitsch esthetics, intended to create a hybrid that placed a strain in the Chilean narrative and also explores the rhetoric of his productive context and the cold war in Latin America.
