Mujer, maternidad y cuerpo en resistencia en algunos relatos de Luisa Valenzuela

Abstract

Taking into account the foundations of the theory of world models, this paper aims to analyze three short stories from Luisa Valenzuela´s Cuentos completos y uno más. Through the study of the notions of woman, motherhood and resistant body such as they have been worked in these short stories, this essay shows some of Valenzuela’s most recurrent syllogisms. It points out also that the construction of a resistant body as a suture element of both identities –of the woman as much as the mother, as woman being mother or mother being womanis carried out through a difficult work on oblivion and memory as the two faces of the same and expensive coin.
