Abstract
El presente trabajo analiza el control y uso del cuerpo femenino en términos biopolíticos durante el régimen franquista. El texto se articula en cuatro capítulos que abarcan una amplia extensión cronológica, desde el establecimiento de arquetipos tradicionales sobre las mujeres en el primer franquismo, hasta las primeras formas de resistencia femenina desde los ámbitos cotidianos y como símbolos de una agencia corporal activa, consciente y cada vez más feminista en el final de la dictadura. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, se integra la categoría de género, como pieza clave interpretativa de los procesos históricos de este período. Sobre esta base y con el marco teórico del biopoder, la violencia simbólica y la performatividad de género, se pretende examinar los dispositivos de control que operaron sobre las mujeres en distintos frentes que van desde el legislativo y el educativo hasta el afectivo y el cultural. A través del estudio de la construcción binaria del género, de la prostitución, del cine tardofranquista y de la militancia femenina informal, no solo demostraremos cómo el régimen franquista moldeó y disciplinó los cuerpos femeninos, sino cómo se generó desde los márgenes, una conciencia política activa y subversiva.
This paper analyzes the control and use of the female body in biopolitical terms during the Franco regime. The text is divided into four chapters that cover a wide chronological extension, from the establishment of traditional archetypes on women in the first Franco to the first forms of female resistance from everyday environments and as symbols of an active, conscious and increasingly feminist body agency at the end of the dictatorship. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the gender category is integrated as a key interpretive piece of the historical processes of this period. On this basis and with the theoretical framework of biopower, symbolic violence and gender performativity, it is intended to examine the control devices that operated on women in different fronts ranging from legislative and educational to affective and cultural. Through the study of binary gender construction, prostitution, late-Franco cinema and informal women’s militancy, we will not only show how the Franco regime shaped and disciplined female bodies, but how it was generated from the margins, an active and subversive political consciousness.
