Papers by Adriana Pacheco-Roldán
In this paper, I review the rhetoric used in Catholic newspapers published in the second half of the 19th-Century aimed at female organizations, a rhetoric that legitimizes a discourse in which poverty and charity are viewed as objects that homogenize the tastes of society and presented as commodities marketed much in the same way as other consumer goods. Contrary to the Catholic goal of a more equal society, this rhetoric reinforces the capitalism implicit in the discourse of liberals during society’s inevitable transition from a Colonial system to capitalism. The analysis shows also how these discourses contribute to codify the interactions between different segments of society, legitimizing a commoditized social hierarchy that reinforces dependency between classes and categories and delimits new spaces for coexistence according to gender. Finally, the paper calls attention to how this rhetoric is used to educate women, like the poor, by training them to be meek and submissive and to keep their passions under control.

El olvido y el silencio en torno a las obras de Arredondo y las de algunas escritoras de la última década del siglo XX y las primeras del XXI, hablan de una indiferencia a la producción literaria de mujeres que aborda temáticas de género. Esto da cuenta de un sesgo en la construcción de un canon tanto literario como crítico que deja fuera otros acercamientos a la obra narrativa como los que se dan desde una deconstrucción culturalista (Moraña) o un análisis de la identidad y la visibilidad (Martín Alcoff). El propósito de este trabajo es analizar desde la crítica feminista postcolonial, la manera cómo se manifiesta este doble carácter en discursos socialmente significativos, dentro de una “estética de lo sagrado”, en las obras contenidas en el libro La señal (1965) de Inés Arredondo, Cuentos para ciclistas y jinetes (1995) de Adriana González Mateos (Ciudad de México), y El cuerpo incorrupto (2008) de Marina Herrera (Coahuila).
