Androgyny and tarotic intertextuality in El milagro

Abstract

The present study examines the mythic component in the novel El milagro by Miguel de Carrión, linked to the theme of androgyny and its relationship, from an iconic approach as a method of semiotic analysis with tarotic esotericism, as an element of intertextuality of the work. Inquiries concerning these topics have been little explored by scholars of the narrative of one of the most important authors of the Republican period in Cuba during the twentieth century. Thus, it is achieved a novel interpretive praxis as a mode of approach to the works of Carrion, supplementing and resizes the ideo-aesthetic significance of his literary output.
