dc.description.abstractThis article applies Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of the Third Space (2004) to an analysis of the narrative structures employed by Mercedes Valdivieso in Maldita yo entre las mujeres (1991). Considering the representation of genders and ethnicities in this historical novel set in the seventeenth century, it argues that Valdivieso’s fragmented, cyclical and oneiric narrative reflects the complex forms of identities illustrated in the novel. These identities contradict the definitions promoted by the European patriarchal society of the time. They are incomplete and under constant negotiation. It is argued here that in the reconstruction of the infamous historical figure, Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer, Valdivieso creates a ‘third space’ through these narrative techniques, and in so doing, allows for heterogeneous, nuanced permutations of identities to be constructed.en
dc.description.abstractEn este artículo se aplica la teoría de Homi K. Bhabha, el Tercer Espacio (2004), a una análisis de las estructuras narrativas de Mercedes Valdivieso en Maldita yo entre las mujeres (1991). Al considerar la representación de géneros y etnicidades en esta novela histórica ambientada en el siglo XVII, se afirma que la narrativa fragmentada, cíclica y onírica de Valdivieso refleja las formas complejas de las identidades ilustradas en la novela. Estas identidades contradicen las definiciones que promueve la sociedad europea patriarcal del período histórico; están incompletas y siempre en continua evolución. Se declara que en su reconstrucción de la figura infame histórica, Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer, Valdivieso crea un ‘tercer espacio’ a través de esas técnicas narrativas, y, al hacerlo, permite la construcción de unas identidades heterogéneas y matizadas.es
