CASTRO RICALDE, Maricruz. Representations of masculinity in Cartucho by Nellie Campobello. Lit. mex [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.2, pp.59-83. Epub 11-Sep-2020. ISSN 2448-8216. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.2020.31.2.0003.
This article focuses on Cartucho (1931) by the Mexican writer Nellie Campobello. Through the analysis of three vignettes, I present the destabilization of the traditional representations of the male subject as well as the univocal association of the sex / gender categories. I show how their stories reveal the heterogeneity of prose over the Mexican Revolution, by configuring a spectrum of meaning designed to link the home with the land of their ancestors. The dust and dirt associated with the earth dignify people and confer virile attributes, regardless of whether the characters are male or female. Such displacements and crossings support the arrival of a new social order.
