T1 La sombra de la madre: un mito materno en la novela de mujeres
A1 Concha, Mª Ángeles de la
AB In this paper I attempt to explore the discursive construction offeminine subjectivity in literature and myth. The authority of myth, hardlyquestioned until fairly recent times, and the interpretive theories thatreinforce the ideology from which it arises and which in turn it contributesto uphold, are particularly evident in the Oedipus myth.Through a brief review of the role played by the mother in fiction byfemale authors in the 18th an 19th centuries and a more detailed analysis ofsignificant contemporary novels I try to explore women's absorption andinternalization of a fixed gendered identity that has ascribed them for a longtime to the realm of the private and the family, and has been the cause of nosmall anxiety and frustration.Being myth embedded in language, I try to show how any attempt touncover and expose its meaning necessarily implies the exposure of thediscursive practices that have largely signified and reinscribed those socialgendered practices.
