Keywords:

Abstract
Silvina Ocampo's narrative conveys an important emphasis in the social dimension of human being. Stories present a general picture of Argentine society and of its interpersonal relationships. This article focuses on the subversion and transgression of the stereotypes related to gender and to age in Silvina Ocampo’s narrative. The author questions and demolishes the patriarchal paradigm by means of a systematic deconstruction of the feminine stereotype and, likewise, she submits the adult-centric view of the world to a deep review in which childhood is revealed as a fantastic domain without exploring.Downloads
