María Victoria Moreno ou a deconstrución da masculinidade hexemónica desde as marxes: unha aproximación a Leonardo e os fontaneiros e a Anagnórise

Abstract

[Resumo] A partir da década de 1970 do século pasado o discurso feminista fíxose explícito en certa literatura infantil e xuvenil como reacción aos estereotipos sexistas presentes nas obras para os/as máis novos/as. Deste xeito agromaron protagonistas femininas ousadas e activas, á vez que medraban as historias protagonizadas por personaxes de nenas e mozas, que foron atentamente examinadas pola crítica. As personaxes masculinas tamén mudaron as súas características e algunhas delas foron construídas con trazos diferenciados da masculinidade hexemónica, ben para buscar a identificación co seu lectorado máis novo, ben para abrirlle novas identidades; porén, apenas foron analizadas cualitativamente. Neste estudo examinaremos os atributos principais de Antón Andrade e Nicolau Arís, os protagonistas das dúas primeiras obras de María Victoria Moreno dirixidas a público xuvenil á luz dos estudos sobre a masculinidade que naceron tamén á calor das ideas feministas

[Abstract] From the 1970s onwards, the feminist discourse became more and more explicit in children´s and youth literature. Many writers took advantage of the educational dimension of artistic creativity to denounce the sexist stereotypes found in works for children. This led to the emergence of bold, active female protagonists, who differed greatly from the undecided, passive characters of previous children’s and youth literature. At the same time, stories starring female characters, closely studied by critics, began to flourish. Male characters also underwent changes and some of them were created with features that bore little resemblance those of of hegemonic masculinity. There were two reasons for this: The idea was to try and connect with young readers and to introduce them to new identities. However, they received little attention in terms of qualitative analysis.
