Descrizione:What happens when some family or community member makes (or it is suspected that he/she made) a reprehensive act? This paper is a comparative reading among the short tale “Anita la cazadora de insectos” by the Honduran writer Roberto Castillo (2004) and the drama Lizzie Borden by the Mexican writer Lucía Leonor Enríquez (2010). Both texts show a woman who is part of a family or community; and she makes (or it is suspected that made) a reprehensive act; therefore, her environment, family and friends, stay away from her. Both women lose their voice and suffer a social death. In order to understand this process, it is used in Luis Villoro’s theory “Estadios en el reconocimiento del Otro”; but in these cases the process is the opposite.
