| Sumario: | “Las mariposas nocturnas” is a short story by Inés Arredondo originally published in 1979 in the collection of stories called Río subterráneo[1]. This article explores, from a semiotic perspective, and using gender as an analytic category, how the identity and the subjectivities construct Lía as a literary character. Our aim is to explore the stylistic resources appropriated by the author to develop a transgressive female character within a socio-cultural context of the early twentieth century. This raises questions such as: How does Lía's identity configuration function? Ontologically, how does the transformation of a female character develop? Which sociocultural model is she responding to? [1] The collection of stories has been published in English as Underground River and other stories. This article examines the story “The Nocturnal Butterflies”. |
