ISTMICA178402023-01-09T21:15:46Z The monstrous as a strategy for the rupture of social conventions and the construction of femininity in the stories “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” and “Sin remitente” by Jacinta Escudos Lo monstruoso como estrategia para la ruptura de convenciones sociales y la construcción de la femineidad en los cuentos “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” y “Sin remitente” de Jacinta Escudos Arce Calvo, María Fernanda monstrous femininity mask female body identity o monstruoso femineidad máscara cuerpo femenino identidad This research analyzes the stories “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” and “Sin remitente” by Jacinta Escudos, in which there are two characters, ‘The mother’ and Anabell, respectively, who have monstrous characteristics and behaviors that they adopt in order to oppose and fight against the rules of a society that invalidate them as human beings. Thus, the concept of monster will be understood as a way of denominating that which is outside the norm, but also as an opportunity for the subjects to experience processes of self-knowledge about their bodies that go beyond what is expected of them. In this case, through the acquisition of masks and “violent” behaviors, these female characters transgress regulatory ideals and propose a new femininity that does not limit their sexual freedom, nor classify them in gender or age stereotypes, so they are not defined as mere objects subordinated to the actions of those around them. En la presente investigación se analizan los cuentos “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” y “Sin remitente” de Jacinta Escudos, en los cuales se encuentran dos personajes, ‘La madre’ y Anabell, respectivamente, quienes poseen características y conductas monstruosas que adoptan a fin de oponerse y luchar en contra de las normas de una sociedad que las anula como seres humanos. De manera que, el concepto de monstruo va a entenderse como una forma de denominar aquello que se salga de la norma, pero también como una oportunidad para que los sujetos experimenten procesos de autoconocimiento sobre su cuerpo que van más allá de lo que se espera de ellos. En este caso, a través de la adquisición de máscaras y comportamientos “violentos”, estos personajes femeninos transgreden los ideales regulatorios y proponen una nueva femineidad que no limita su libertad sexual, ni las encasilla en estereotipos de género o edad, por lo que no son definidas como meros objetos subordinados a las acciones de quienes las rodean.
