- Title
ESPERPENTO Y CUERPO VIOLENTO: ANGÉLICA LIDDELL ENTRE MISOGINIA Y FEMINISMO .
- Authors
Valderrama, Mara
- Abstract
This essay studies the seeming contradiction between Angelica Liddell’s feminism in some of her plays and the misogynistic turn in her more recent works, especially The Scarlet Letter (2018). The theoretical framework includes Paul B. Preciado’s concept of «auto-guinea pig» and Rebecca Schneider’s “explicit body” to analyze the ways in which physical violence is central to Liddell’s work. The essay then locates Liddell in a lineage of Spanish theatrical traditions: the 19th century genre astracán and the esperpento, conceptualized by playwright Valle-Inclán in 1920. In this light, Liddell’s violent and provocative performative language becomes part of a consolidated tradition rather than an irreverent provocation. This article analyzes case studies such as Yo no soy bonita (2005), La casa de la fuerza (2009) y The Scarlet Letter (2018).
