MARIN, Fwala-lo. Injustices in Artistic Fields: The Case of Contemporary Women Theater Directors in Córdoba, Argentina. Debate fem. [online]. 2021, vol.62, pp.72-94.  Epub May 05, 2023. ISSN 2594-066X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cieg.2594066xe.2021.62.2274.

We problematize gender inequalities surrounding independent theater awards in Córdoba (Argentina) to understand the logic of recognition in an asymmetric world of art. To this end, we theoretically review the criteria of distinction from a gender perspective, considering aesthetic and extra-aesthetic aspects of the works, as well as the notion of genius, historically associated with the role of direction. We also analyze the recognition and self-recognition of women and dissidence in directorial roles. We then examine public and private spheres as organizers of theatrical practices. We examine the case of the Provincial Theater Awards. We include statistical data, systematize the repercussions of the 2019 edition and compare positions on possible affirmative or transformative solutions regarding the injustices involved in recognition.
