The debate promotes the cohesion of a white and patriarchal imagined community. Within the space of the press, hegemonic discourses victimize the fictional character, and the author, but also the values and privileges of epistemological dominance and supremacy of the majority group. Defensively, the publications also disqualify the experience and opinions of those who point out the racist nature of the text, particularly, Black women. Reviewing discussion of Cocori during 2003 and 2015 reveals no significant variation between positions of cultural and educational institutions and public opinion during a time period that supposedly saw advances of anti-racist and multicultural regulations. The controversy finally warns about the limits of the political participation of Afro-Costa Rican women when they question the national imaginaries.Se analiza el abordaje en prensa de dos de los momentos públicos de lapolémica alrededor del libro infantil Cocorí, como evidencia de la relación entre productos culturales, racismo (misógino) y nacionalismo costarricense. El debate permite la cohesión de una comunidad (imaginada)blanca y patriarcal. En el espacio de la prensa, el discurso hegemónico traslada la condición de víctima no solo al personaje de ficción, al autor o la obra, sino hacia los mismos valores y privilegios de dominio epistemológico y supremacía del grupo mayoritario. En defensa de todos ellos, las publicaciones descalifican además la experiencia y opiniones de quienes señalan el carácter racista del texto, particularmente, mujeres negras. La revisión de la discusión sobre Cocorí durante el 2003 y el 2015 sugiere que no existe una variación significativa entre la postura de las instituciones culturales y educativas, intelectuales, académicos y la opinión pública en una década de aparentes avances en normativa antirracista y multicultural. La misma polémica advierte, finalmente, los límites de la participación política de mujeres afrocostarricenses cuando ello implica el cuestionamiento de los imaginarios nacionales.Universidad de Costa Rica2019-09-18info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/epub+zipaudio/x-aiffhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/3907010.15517/rfl.v45i2.39070Journal of Philology and Linguistics of the University of Costa Rica; Vol. 45 No. 2 (2019): Octubre 2019 - Marzo 2020; 73-98Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Rica; Vol. 45 Núm. 2 (2019): Octubre 2019 - Marzo 2020; 73-98Revista de Filología y Lingüística; Vol. 45 N.º 2 (2019): Octubre 2019 - Marzo 2020; 73-982215-26280377-628Xreponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/39070/39801https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/39070/39802https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/39070/39983acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-09T02:55:55Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/39070Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T09:58:08.052Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse |
