This masquerade is to be accepted by her husband, but also by a society that aspires to the prototype of European beauty. The theories put forward by Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex (1953), Luce Irigaray in The Sex Which is Not One (1985), and “Masquerade Reconsidered: Further Thoughts on the Female Spectator” (1989) by Mary Anne Doane have been central to examining the concept of “feminine masquerade.”En el presente artículo analizaré el cuento “Los celosos” (1988) de la escritora argentina Silvina Ocampo. En este relato, la protagonista es una mujer llamada Irma Peinate que para satisfacer al esposo emplea una gran cantidad de pelucas, pestañas postizas, tacones y maquillaje. Un día, el esposo la ve sin ningún accesorio y no la reconoce. Planteo que este sacrificio estético por el que atraviesa la mujer es una suerte de “mascarada” de la feminidad. Esta mascarada es para ser aceptada por el marido, pero también por una sociedad que aspira al prototipo de belleza europea. Las teorías expuestas por Simone de Beauvoir en The Second Sex (1953), Luce Irigaray en The Sex Which is Not One (1985) y “Masquerade Reconsidered: Further Thoughts on the Female Spectator” (1989) de Mary Anne Doane han sido centrales para examinar el concepto de “mascarada femenina”.Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica2024-11-14info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfaudio/mpegaudio/mpegtext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/2077610.15359/ra.1-34.12Repertorio Americano; No. 34 (2024): Repertorio Americano: Segunda Nueva Época; 1-10Repertorio Americano; Núm. 34 (2024): Repertorio Americano: Segunda Nueva Época; 1-10Repertorio Americano; n. 34 (2024): Repertorio Americano: Segunda Nueva Época; 1-102215-61430252-8479reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspaenghttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/20776/32211https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/20776/32212https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/20776/32213https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/20776/32927https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/repertorio/article/view/20776/32214Derechos de autor 2024 Repertorio Americanoacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-03-09T22:28:28Zoai:ojs.www.una.ac.cr:article/20776Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-03-09T22:28:28Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse |
