Spanish term or phrase: atravesarlas; minarlas

...y premisas de un nuevo barroco que al mismo tiempo integraría la evidencia pedagógica de las formas antiguas, su legibilidad, su eficacia informativa, y trataría de atravesarlas, de irradiarlas, de minarlas por su propia parodia...

English translation:See below

Explanation:
... and would try to pierce (or lay across, radiate, and undermine them by its own parody.

atravesar= to lay across, to penetrate, to pierce, to run through

irradiar= to irradiate, to radiate

minar= to mine, to bore, to tunnel, to undermine

In this case because it is talking about making a parody about the "formas antiguas" I believe undermine is the correct term.

Hope it helps

Happy translating! ;o)
