Surrealismo y alteridad femenina

Resumo

The otherness established by the feminine identity in Surrealism is confirmed in the presence of the female form. Its frustrated representation ¿ as a permanentlyalien form in Western civilizationreveals itself as an injure for our consciousness while it dismembers in a multiple metaphore about the disintegration of language. It simplifies and condenses itself in an embodiment for desire and frustration. Through all these mechanisms, the flesh spoiled by dogma rediscovers itself, announcing the ¿convulsed beauty¿ of Breton¿s first Manifesto.Consequently, we will approach to the female-body identity proposed by Surrealism, highlighting its most outstanding characteristics in theCanaries and selecting those authors most evidently influential in this reading of the ¿other¿ body representation.
