Sorority and latin america telenovela
Abstract
This article seeks to reflect on the representations of sorority that telenovela in Peru, Chile and Mexico have given us in recent years, since several of them are staging situations and themes related to gender violence against women. We are committed to this topic because of its importance and validity, but also because the telenovela is a story historically associated with the female universe; and sorority manifests itself as a feminine experience and practice. It is relevant in the Latin American context because the violence numbers already constitute a pandemic against women.
We know that the telenovela reproduces, recreates, and makes visible the norms and mandates, beliefs and sanctions of each society and is talking about social subjects generically constituted in specific times and contexts, because the telenovela offers us a set of representations that affect the way we live, and we experience our own subjectivity. As Teresa de Lauretis (1989) said, gender inscription is an effect produced in bodies.
