The author examines the connections among strategic uses of humor, women's bodies, and resistance in works of fiction by Laura Esquivel, Ana Lydia Vega, Luisa Valenzuela, Armonía Somers, and Alicia Borinsky. She shows how the interarticulation of the comic and comic-grotesque vision with different types of excessive female bodies can result in new configurations of female subjectivity. 606 $aSpanish American literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zLatin America$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aComic, The, in literature 606 $aLaughter in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aDissenters in literature 606 $aHuman body in literature 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aComic, The, in literature. 615 0$aLaughter in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aDissenters in literature. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 676 $a863.6099287098 700 $aNiebylski$b Dianna C.$f1957-$01811176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958174403321 996 $aHumoring resistance$94362879 997 $aUNINA
