Hacia una genealogía de la monstruosidad femenina: discapacidad y resistencia en Pandora, El monstruo pentápodo y Cara de liebre de Liliana Blum

Abstract

This article examines the construction of female monstrosity in relation to the physical disabilities of female characters in three novels by Mexican author Liliana Blum. Following the chronological order of their publication, the texts address a single narrative: that of the disabled woman who transforms into a monster as a mechanism of adaptation and resistance to the paradigms of bodily, sexual, and gender normality. The linear textual progression highlights the evolution of the monster, who, through her multivocal discourse, confronts the masculine monster to dismantle the system that legitimizes gender-based violence
