«Hagamos tabula rasa, si te parece». Políticas de localización y subjetividad nómade en Reina, de Elizabeth Duval

Abstract

Elizabeth Duval’s (Alcala de Henares, 2000) Reina (Caballo de Troya, 2020) is a powerfulintervention on the growing influx of first-person voices in current Spanish narrative. Theproposal of the present work supports as a hypothesis that the fictionalization of the self inReina works in order to problematize a crystallized public image. This problematization isproduced from the construction of a sustained self-configuration on a strategic nomadictriangulation, as a becoming-minor in three dimensions: sexual, generational and textual.In this sense, the transition from the first person to the second, in the figure of the “femalereader,” could finally be understood as an interrogation about the place of desire in thearticulation between literature and life.
