Memorias discursivas y matrices estéticas en la literatura infantil Argentina. Perspectivas en torno a la configuración de la mujer en las nuevas narrativas.

Abstract

During the last decades, in the Latin American publishing markets, there has been a large production of books intended for childhood, characterized by innovative designs, materials and themes. These have given rise to the creation of transgressive genres and aesthetics that expand identity representations and, at the same time, show the transformation not only of the conception of the recipient but also of the purpose of children's literature (LI), which is consolidated as an aesthetic experience, far from any utilitarian purpose. Within the framework of this dossier and, from the studies of Discourse Analysis, the present work proposes to investigate the female identity representations in two album books published in Argentina: La durmiente, by María Teresa Andruetto and Istvansch, and La bella Griselda, by Isol. The approach shows that the evocation of a certain “discursive memory” (Courtine, 1981 and 1994) of a patriarchal nature around the representation of women, with which the works establish different links – of rejection, discussion, objection, etc. .–, makes it possible, on the one hand, to cement a discursive memory with a gender perspective and, on the other hand, accompanies the creation of “new aesthetic matrices” of the LI, where the written word, the image and the materialities of the edition They bring into play various semiosis, meanings and subjectivities.
