Sumario:By means of a first person narration led by the fairy Melusina -key figure in the medieval imaginary- in his novel El unicornio (1965) Mujica Lainez subverts dominant sex-gender patterns and incorporates desire forms that, had they been localized in an Argentinean and contemporary context at the moment they were written, could have resulted particularly problematic. Thus, the reconstruction of medieval characters and motifs arises as a strategy to articulate erotic possibilities that dissent from dominant rigid morals in Argentina during the mid 1960s.
