Abstract

During the presentation I talked about the mechanism of fusion between different formal and thematic elements in the novel of the Peruvian author. The result of this method are new forms and nuances into the text, combined in a continual process which permits to the lector or the receptor to find new interpretations of the literary work.

This concept of continual movement in the novel The Golden snake is established according to the Jan Mukarovsky's study: Intentionality and Unintentionality in art. Here the Czech theorist defines the motion of elements which compose an artwork.

This procedure was used to explain the non-demarcation of the analyzed novel.
