Postmodern Justice: Ethical Feminism in Isabel Allende's ""Hija de la fortuna, "" Antonio Benítez-Rojo's ""Mujer en traje de batalla, "" Marcela Serrano's ""Nuestra señora de la soledad, "" and Sara Sefchovich's ""La señora de los sueños"""Contemporary Latin American fiction establishes a unique connection between masquerade, frequently motivated by stigma or trauma, and social justice. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel."--Provided by publisher.Electronic books. 863/.70998LIT004100bisacshWeldt-Basson Helene Carol1958-1070706MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910163935003321Masquerade and Social Justice in Contemporary Latin American Fiction2564801UNINA01029nam0 22002771i 450 UON0007444520231205102404.10120020107d1935 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| |||||AbessinienEnno LittmannHamburgHanseatische Verlagsanstaltc1935114 p.21 cm*Data inesattaIT-UONSI ETIa/046*ETIOPIACultura e societa'UONC018720FIDEHamburgUONL003222963STORIA D'ETIOPIA / STORIA DEL CORNO D'AFRICA21LittmannEnnoUONV0073220Hanseatische VerlagsanstaltUONV257956650ITSOL20250620RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00074445SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI I a 046* SI MR 65962 5 046* *Data inesattaAbessinien1164361UNIOR
