| Descrizione: | This paper analyzes the short stories “Ciudadanía” (2011) by Denise Phé Funchal and “Locaciones” (2014) by Carla Pravisani. The objective is to review the representation of segregation and biopolitics over bodies through irony. Both stories construct characters traversed by body practices (Muñiz, 2014) that evidence the use of bodies as didactic-moralizing exhibitions. In addition, these bodiesare segregated and excluded from the social environment, according to the mixophobia proposed by Bauman (2015) to be transformed into dehumanizing and biopolitical practices typical of a permanent state of exception, as proposed by Giorgio Agamben (2014). Thus, the texts, based on what Hutcheon calls parodic irony, show in a scathing way the dehumanization of contemporary societies. |
