| Sumario: | In this article we present part of a research carried out on the representational archaeology of María Grynsztein de Espeche, known as La Rusa María, who was a famous brothel keeper in the Red Zone of the province of Salta between the 1930s and 1960s. Through a socio-semiotic analysis we investigate the power of her infamous image to stress the hegemonic pressures existing in a hygienist society sustained by the negotiations of the cooperative triad formed by the political, judicial-policial, and religious power.
We reviewed judicial files, archbishops’ archives and official correspondence that allowed us to identify the discursive strategies used from a subordinate position that managed to reverse the dominant logics and install until today a mythical figure from her categorization as an infamous woman. |
