Una mirada a En diciembre llegaban las brisas de Marvel Moreno Cardozo, Luisa María Marvel Moreno Stereotypes Gender Memory Marvel Moreno Estereotipos Género Memoria The article now presented addresses the construction of the feminine in Marvel Moreno's novel En diciembre llegaban las brisas focusing on the stereotypes that limit women's identities from fulfilling uniformly established and naturalized social roles. It is agreed that such representations are not neutral expressions, but rather constructions that have been precisely legitimized, to the point of being believed to be inherent to the feminine condition. All these ideas were based on the assertion that construction is consistent with the premises that gender grants to performative practice, that is, those reiterations of the discipline of each social norm of morality that creates subjectivities. This logic, developed by authors such as Judith Butler, is articulated within the framework of a critical analysis of colonialism, understood not only as a historical fact, but as a remnant power structure that continues to shape ways of life, thought, and social interaction in Latin America. From this perspective, we propose a reading of the story that captures its subversive power. In this reading, Marvel Moreno reveals the mechanisms of control over women's bodies and voices in a society that has attempted to narrate their silence and has reduced them to just that, that is, to not being or being these voices that have forced them to submit to stereotypes. El artículo que ahora se presenta se aboca a la construcción de lo femenino en la novela En diciembre llegaban las brisas de Marvel Moreno, abriendo el foco sobre los estereotipos que hacen con las identidades de mujer el límite del cumplimiento de los roles sociales uniformemente fijados y naturalizados. Se conviene que tales representaciones no son expresiones neutras, sino construcciones que han sido legitimadas de forma precisa, hasta el punto de hacerse creer inherentes a la condición femenina. Todas estas ideas se sostienen desde la afirmación de que la construcción se aviene con los planteamientos que el género otorga a la práctica performativa. Esta lógica, de acuerdo con autores como Judith Butler, se articula en el marco de un análisis crítico del colonialismo, entendido no sólo como un hecho histórico, sino como una estructura de poder remanente que sigue conformando las formas de vida, de pensamiento y de trato social en América Latina. Desde esta lógica, se quiere plantear una lectura de la novela que capte su poder subversivo porque allí Marvel Moreno pone de manifiesto los dispositivos de control sobre el cuerpo y la voz de las mujeres en una sociedad que ha pretendido contar el silencio de ellas y las redujo a eso, es decir, a no ser o ser en tanto se sometieran a los estereotipos.
