The construction of identity in postmodern society and social conventions in the short novel Cara de pan by Sara Mesa
Abstract
This paper proposes an analysis to consider the relationships between postmodern identity and social conventions through the narrative of Sara Mesa. To achieve this, the research focuses on Mesa’s work Cara de pan (2018), where the author explores the identity crisis of a teenager who engages in an ambiguous relationship with an older man. In this way, the following questions that underlie the present research: How does identity develop in the postmodern era? How do social conventions influence this process? When examining the piece, the goal is to accomplish two fundamental objectives: to understand how identity is constructed and deconstructed in liquid times, and what role social conventions play in the formation of identity in this context.
