Abstract

This article offers an análisis of two plays: Alfonsina Storni's 1927 mundo and Salvadora Medina Onrubia's 1929 Las descentradas. In these works the authors present hegemonic and counter-hegemonic forms of female subjectivity, reflecting on the causes and consequences that affect transgressive female characters. From this standpoint, the article explores the mechanisms that evince a feminist logic capable of challenging the sexed stereotypes of phalogocentrism.
