This article informs the tendency of adopting what we will call ironic standings in Argentinian and Chilean literary circles during the early forties by way of contrasting the work of a Chilean author, Jenaro Prieto, with that of two Argentinians, J. L. Borges and A. Bioy Casares. The identification and exposition of this behavior is guided toward questioning parody as a tool and strategic means for Sabotage. In order to achieve this analysis, we will focus on the manifestation of a textual mechanism that is able, due to semantic inversion and pragmatic evaluation, to undo literary techniques and styles, and thus have an impact on the readership’s preferences.
