La literatura y el cine como espacios de resistencia al paradigma héteronormativo

Abstract

This writing presents cinema and literary discourse as fields where not only
dominant categories are questioned, but also, alternatives to the heteronormative paradigm created by psychoanalysis, law and other sciences, are suggested. The authors
put forward that the gaucho, while archetypical figure of virility and national being,
also allows for the modern notion of masculinity to be subverted. After a brief genealogy of this concept in national literature, the writing concludes with a detailed analysis
of the gaucho character in Martín Fierro, La Vuelta de Martín Fierro, Don Segundo
Sombra and Vidalita.
