I28-R145-10627_oai2025-11-17 Sosa, Cristina Patricia Moreyra, Verónica 2021-10-14 In this work we intend to approach a series of novels by Paco Ignacio Taibo II starring Héctor Belascoarán Shayne, a character in which there are resonances from the hardboiled fiction. We will try to draw a profile of the famous detective from a genre perspective, highlighting in particular the concept of masculinity. We are interested in investigating how this figure and other characters that populate the fictional universe built by the author embody a distancing or a follow-up / development of the “género” in its two of senses: as an identity matrix (genre) and as a literary form (gender). Our corpus is made up of the novels Días de combate (1976), No habrá final feliz (1989) and Muertos incómodos (2005), the last one written with Subcomandante Marcos of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). In constant movement through Mexico City, a space where impunity reigns and where justice becomes impossible, the detective shows the sordidness of crimes that at times seem to be solved beforehand, underlying the idea that all crime is a state crime. While living his adventures, Belascoarán Shayne presents to the readers an outline of theorizing about masculinity, being Mexican and the detective fiction genre. En este trabajo nos proponemos abordar una serie de novelas de Paco Ignacio Taibo II protagonizadas por Héctor Belascoarán Shayne, personaje en el que hay resonancias de la novela policial negra estadounidense. Intentaremos trazar un perfil del célebre detective desde una perspectiva de género, subrayando en particular el concepto de masculinidad. Nos interesa indagar cómo esta figura y otros personajes que pueblan el universo ficcional construido por el autor encarnan un distanciamiento o se acercan al género en dos de sus sentidos: como matriz de identidad y como forma literaria. Nuestro corpus está compuesto por las novelas Días de combate (1976), No habrá final feliz (1989) y Muertos incómodos (2005), esta última escrita con el Subcomandante Marcos del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN). En constante movimiento por la ciudad de México, espacio en el que reina la impunidad y donde la justicia se vuelve imposible, el detective muestra la sordidez de crímenes que por momentos parecen estar resueltos de antemano; subyace la idea de que todo crimen es crimen de Estado. Mientras vive sus aventuras, Belascoarán Shayne presenta a los lectores un bosquejo de teorización sobre la masculinidad, el ser mexicano y el género policial. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10627 10.34096/filologia.n53.10627 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10627/9320 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/10627/9337 Filología; No. 53 (2021); 57-70 Filología; Núm. 53 (2021); 57-70 2422-6009 0071-495X Hardboiled novel genre detective masculinity Mexico Novela policial género detective masculinidad México Héctor Belascoarán Shayne: the space of the city and hegemonic masculinities Héctor Belascoarán Shayne: el espacio de la ciudad y las masculinidades hegemónicas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=filologia&d=10627_oai |
