I28-R145-5477_oai2025-11-17 Proaño Gómez, Lola 2018-12-21 The recent Argentine theatrical scene uncovers the ideology of the Dictatorship exhibiting the inconsistencies present in the discourse of the “Process of National Reorganization” and of the Argentine Catholic Church regarding motherhood. The two theatre pieces that this article will examine expose the existence of two opposing sex-affective systems, disguised by the explicit dictatorial discourse of the defense of values and the protection of family as an institution. The Dictatorship’s discourse acted as a concealing device for the violence it used. The recent Argentine theatre scene, through linguistic and visual metaphors, reveals that inconsistency and its role as a device for dominance and violence; this gave rise to a socio-political organization that is closely related to the ideal family model under the construction of a totalitarian, discriminatory and violent subjectivity. Susana Torres Molina’s La Fundación theatrically discovers the incoherence between the Dictatorship’s necropolitical practice and the references to the sacredness of motherhood and family explicited in its discourse, while Cocinando con Elisa, by Lucía Larragione, exhibits the power that motherhood invests and how it causes fear in those sectors that defend the status quo, which react by seeking to dissolve the threatening element: the mother and the maternal and family bond. La escena teatral argentina reciente desnuda la ideología de la dictadura exhibiendo las inconsistencias presentes en el discurso del Proceso de Reorganización Nacional y de la Iglesia Católica argentina respecto de la maternidad. Aparecen dos sistemas sexo-afectivos contrapuestos que des-cubren el discurso explícito de la defensa de los valores, la protección de las familias y de la misma institución, como dispositivo encubridor de la violencia empleada por la dictadura del Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. Mediante metáforas lingüísticas y visuales, la escena teatral argentina reciente devela la inconsistencia de esta como un dispositivo más de dominio y de violencia; esto dio lugar a una organización socio-política que se relaciona estrechamente con el modelo de familia ideal acorde con la construcción de una subjetividad totalitaria, discriminadora y violenta. La fundación de Susana Torres Molina descubre teatralmente la incoherencia entre la sacralidad de la maternidad y la institución familiar, en el discurso explícito de la dictadura y la práctica necropolítica de la misma. Cocinando con Elisa de Lucía Larragione exhibe el poder que la maternidad inviste junto al temor que produce en los estamentos que defienden el status quo y que se resuelve mediante la disolución del elemento amenazante: la madre y el vínculo maternal y familiar. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/5477 10.34096/tdf.n28.5477 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/5477/4913 telondefondo.

The recent Argentine theatrical scene uncovers the ideology of the Dictatorship exhibiting the inconsistencies present in the discourse of the “Process of National Reorganization” and of the Argentine Catholic Church regarding motherhood. The two theatre pieces that this article will examine expose the existence of two opposing sex-affective systems, disguised by the explicit dictatorial discourse of the defense of values and the protection of family as an institution. The Dictatorship’s discourse acted as a concealing device for the violence it used. The recent Argentine theatre scene, through linguistic and visual metaphors, reveals that inconsistency and its role as a device for dominance and violence; this gave rise to a socio-political organization that is closely related to the ideal family model under the construction of a totalitarian, discriminatory and violent subjectivity.
