MARADEI, Guadalupe. Masculinity and affective violence in the narrative fiction of Leticia Obeid and Francisco Bitar. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.1, pp.421-443. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.00017.

The essay reads as a culture text (Barthes, 1971) the recent publication of two narrative fictions that experiment with the novel genre and problematize heartbreak as a process and as a conflict. The corpus is made up of Preparación para el amor by Leticia Obeid (2015) and La preparación para la aventura amorosa de Francisco Bitar by Francisco Bitar (2021). The analysis focuses on the way in which the stories plot affective violence as a specific type of gender violence (Martín Sánchez, 2015) and its relationships with the paradigm ̶ in crisis ̶ of masculinity as a device of power (Fabbri, 2021).
