LUEVANO, Sabino. Neoliberalism and masculinity in Nostalgia de la Sombra, by Eduardo Antonio Parra. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2022, n.24, pp.6-36. Epub 30-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2448-6019. https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.v0i24.373.
This article aims to study the representation of masculinity in the novel Nostalgia de la sombra (2002), by Eduardo Antonio Parra. By establishing a dialogue with theories of masculinity, neoliberalism, vulnerability and contemporary Latin American cultural studies, this essay analyzes the way in which the main character of Nostalgia is inserted in a specific cultural imaginary and in different social discourses about what it means to be a man in Mexico. In the present context of violence that the country is experiencing, this analysis seeks to point out certain practices of power brought forth by the imposition of neoliberalism and how they trigger different phenomena of masculine necro-empowerment.
