La sexualidad monstruosa en Las voladoras de Mónica Ojeda

Abstract

Current Latin American literature, especially women's writing, seeks a return to the gothic genre, as a new way of telling the story of women's situation in a globalized and stereotyped society, where male power prevails. In Ecuador, Mónica Ojeda is one of the writers who use this genre to denounce the "monstrosities" of patriarchal societies. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to analyze how sexuality and the female body are constituted as control devices in Mónica Ojeda 's Las Voladoras (2020). To this end, our proposal revolves around the theoretical postulates of Foucault (2007), Butler (2007) and Rubino, Saxe and Sanchez (2021).
