| Descripción: | This article endeavors to study the literary image of Bruna Husky, the fictional character in Rosa Montero’s novels, according to the theory of the artistic image developed by Georges Didi-Huberman. This critic explores the artistic image as a symptom, that is, as a conflict among latent contradictory impulses, located not only in the author’s unconscious, but in society as a whole. As a character, Bruna husky shows a conflict between prosopography (visual image, physical description) and etopeia, (a character’s values and actions). While Bruna Husky’s prosopography shows us a masculinized woman, her etopeia reveals a woman who is still subservient to her male partner through the romantic mystique of ideal love. In this way, Bruna Husky represents an interesting but failed attempt to find a literary image of an independent woman in our time. |
