Abstract
La sexualidad femenina era un tema prohibido fuera de determinados ámbitos de estudio, como la medicina, la biología, la psicología y la psiquiatría. Esta situación perduró hasta hace poco más de un siglo, cuando sociólogos, antropólogos, sexólogos y, por supuesto, estudiosos feministas y de género mostraron su interés por el cuerpo y la sexualidad de la mujer entendidos como construcciones socioculturales. Después de la Revolución Sexual de los años setenta, cuyos resultados se consideran un éxito —o un fracaso— parcial en la lucha contra la falta de libertad corporal femenina, la autonomía sexual de la mujer vuelve a silenciarse en la agenda feminista posterior. Sin embargo, las discusiones sobre el derecho de la mujer a ser dueña de su propio cuerpo y a sentir impulsos eróticos ocupan un lugar cada vez más llamativo en la narrativa española actual. Con el presente trabajo, «Cuerpo y sexualidad femeninos en la narrativa española contemporánea. Tres novelas ganadoras del Premio Nacional de Narrativa: Lectura fácil (2018), Totalidad sexual del cosmos (2019) y As malas mulleres (2021)», se estudia si en la sociedad de hoy en día está resurgiendo la demanda de la iniciativa sexual femenina. Al ser un análisis sobre las obras ganadoras de un premio institucional de gran prestigio, también nos revela la actitud del poder hacia la lucha por la libertad sexual femenina...
Female sexuality was a forbidden subject outside certain fields of study, such as medicine, biology, psychology and psychiatry. This situation persisted until just over a century ago, when sociologists, anthropologists, sexologists and, of course, feminist and gender scholars showed their interest in women's bodies and sexuality understood as socio-cultural constructs. After the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s, the results of which are considered a partial success —or failure— in the struggle against the lack of female bodily freedom, women's sexual autonomy is again silenced in the subsequent feminist agenda. Nevertheless, discussions of women's right to be masters of their own bodies and to feel erotic impulses occupy an increasingly conspicuous place in current Spanish narrative. With the present work, «Female body and sexuality in contemporary Spanish narrative.Three novels winners of the National Narrative Prize: Easy Reading (2018), Totality of the Sexual Cosmos (2019), and Bad Women (2021)», we study whether in today's society the demand for female sexual initiative is re-emerging. Being an analysis on the winning works of a prestigious institutional award, it also reveals to us the attitude of power towards the call for the struggle for female sexual freedom...
