While examining how identity (re)construction can\u0000resonate, metonymically, in the actual scriptural arrangement of the novel’s text, the paper\u0000focuses on the study of the relationship between the formal, textual, and semiotic-receptive\u0000representation of the idea of emancipation, through Ana Castillo’s explicit auctorial\u0000intentionality.","PeriodicalId":38079,"journal":{"name":"Synergy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41804318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
