| Sumario: | At the beginning of the 20th century, marriage is the ideal to which all people aspire, with which it turns out to be a useful device in controlling sex, pleasures and uses of the body. It involves fixed and binary identities that are basically timeless and ahistorical. In this article I will analyze the dissimilar modes of resistance that can be read in the chronicles of Alfonsina Storni and Roberto Arlt, written in the 1920s and 1930s. My hypothesis is that Arlt reproduces to the grotesque the language of misogyny while Storni questions the ideas that circulate about the semantic chain that implies marriage-family-engagement. And both of them, with their differences, highlight the artificial character of the links between the sexes, revealing the class and gender mandates that weigh on them. |
