Popis: Las infantas by Lina Meruane proposes a new reading of the fairy tales that are part of the children's imaginary of European literature. Through the rupture and inversion, both of the canon and of roles and archetypes, the author formulates a multifocal approach to some characters who transit as marginal bodies through the textual and social space of exclusion and fracture. From them, Meruane develops discursive strategies of resistance that displace desire and sexuality, which inaugurate specular spaces of great symbolic force.
