Description
Ricardo Armijo short sttory “La balada urbana,” “Chichicastenango Supermarket,” and “Lamento urbano” are three versions of a core story. The presentation explores the changes and revisions and its effect to the overall story line. All deal with stereotypical gender roles in the Latinx immigrant culture based in Chicago and by changing a view details Armijo creates completely different texts, both in terms of tone and themes. It demonstrates how small textual shifts can produce radically different interpretations of gender, identity, and displacement.
