Abstract
En esta investigación se lleva a cabo un estudio comparativo de diferentes obras de ficción, con la finalidad de estudiar qué mecanismos generan los discursos sociales, culturales y políticos en la construcción de la identidad de la mujer. Las protagonistas de las novelas Die Klavierspielerin (1983) y Lust (1989) de Elfriede Jelinek son el centro del estudio. Desde aquí se analiza la problemática formación y consolidación de las identidades subalternas. El objetivo de este análisis es poner de manifiesto cómo es el camino que cada una de ellas debe emprender en la formación de su identidad. Para desde aquí dar consistencia a un imaginario generador de paradigmas sólidos en la construcción de la identidad de la mujer. Así pues, desde un enfoque feminista conectado con presupuestos filosóficos, sociológicos, poscoloniales, lingüísticos y postestructuralistas, repensamos la categoría kantiana de lo sublime en conexión con lo bello y lo siniestro. Caminos diferentes se trazan como un proceso en el que lo bello y lo siniestro permiten alcanzar el estado de lo sublime, y con ello la comunión con el otro y la consecuente formación de la identidad. El cuerpo, conectado con lo sensitivo, con lo bello, se define, así, como un instrumento de comunicación con el otro. Pero, además, cada una de ellas deberá desvelar lo siniestro. Acto que les obligará a despojarse de sus máscaras. Para ello, desde una actitud reposada y contemplativa, es generada una resistencia desde la que las protagonistas combaten la expulsión o la censura a las que son sometidas. La identidad, así, no puede ser pensada sin una alteridad y sin una voz con la que exponerse al otro.
This study analyses works of fiction from a comparative perspective. It analyses the elements that construct the social, cultural and political dimensions of the feminine identity. Die Klavierspielerin (1983) und Lust (1989) by the Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek are the central reference of the study. A comparison of these works reveals the problematic nature of feminine identities as subaltern. The aim of this analysis is to highlight the path that each woman must take in forming her identity. From this starting point, the work aims at building a solid foundation for the construction of women's identity. By adopting a feminist approach, complemented by sociological, postcolonial, linguistic and poststructuralist paradigms, I re-think the Kantian category of the sublime in relation to the categories of beauty and the sinister. Both protagonists trace different paths of feminine identity-making in a process in which beauty and the sinister allow their protagonists to experience the sublime. The body appears defined as an instrument of communication with the other. The body, in connection to sensitivity and beauty, becomes the means by which the individual can be part of the collectivity. However, each of these categories eventually reveals the sinister. They must take off their masks. The protagonists of the works manage to generate mechanisms of resistance against (the censorship and) the exclusion that they suffer because of their gender. Identity, therefore, can only be thought in relation to alter ity.
