dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: This essay explores madness as a performative practice in Janet Frame’s «An Angel At My Table» (1981) as a way to escape from gender conventions. Following Shoshana Felman and Suzette Henke, I will look at how Frame deconstructs and reconstructs a new identity by giving up female gender conventions—especially sexuality and the normative female body. In the second part of this article I analyse how, by omitting an actual account of her stay in numerous mental institutions in her autobiography, she reshapes and “remembers” the image that she wants to portray of herself. | |
dc.description.abstract | RESUMEN: Este ensayo explora la locura como práctica preformativa en «An Angel At My Table» de Janet Frame (1981) como forma de escapar de las convenciones de género. Siguiendo a Shoshana Felman y a Suzette Henke, observaremos cómo Frame reconstruye una nueva identidad al renunciar a las convenciones del género femenino—en especial, la sexualidad y el cuerpo femenino normativo. En la segunda parte de este artículo se analiza cómo al omitir en su autobiografía el relato de su estancia en diversas instituciones mentales, restaura y se hace cargo de la imagen que quiere proyectar de sí misma. | |
