by Pereira-Muro, Carmen


From the publisher

Lugar de Emilia Pardo Bazn en la literatura espaola y gallega se ha ganado duro, y ella todava no ha recibido el reconocimiento que se merece. En Gnero, nacin y literatura: Emilia Pardo Bazn en la literatura gallega y Espaola, Carmen Pereira-Muro estudia la obra y personalidad de este fascinante autor en el contexto de los nacionalismos que compiten espaol y gallego. Ella vuelve a leer las historias literarias y cnones nacionales de Espaa y Galicia como narrativas patriarcales que luchan para asimilar o silenciar proyecto nacional alternativo de Pardo Bazn.

Pereira-Muro sostiene que Pardo Bazn postul la inclusin de las mujeres en la cultura nacional como un paso clave para eludir la lgica representacional detrs de realismo y el liberalismo en el estado-nacin moderno. Al insistir en que las mujeres deben ser socios iguales, Pardo Bazn adopt problemticamente el binarismo patriarcal que asigna a la mujer a la naturaleza y los hombres a la cultura, pero tambin subvierte que al negar su relacin complementaria. Su eleccin astuta y manipulacin de modelos culturales masculinos (Realismo, no Romanticismo; prosa, no la poesa; lengua castellana, no gallego) en ltima instancia, su- a pesar de la feroz oposicin ganaron inclusin en el canon nacional espaol. Por otra parte, el estudio de sus relaciones con espinosos emergente nacionalismo gallego muestra que su exclusin de la "literatura gallega" se debi en gran parte a su actuacin transgresora gnero. Finalmente Pereira-Muro sostiene que en la ltima novela del autor, Pardo Bazn experiment con la creacin de una escritura femenina y una femenina canon para Espaa. Sin embargo, la poltica de gnero predominantes aseguraron que slo su produccin realista (masculino) lo hizo en el canon espaol, y no este ltimo modernista escrito, (femenino).

En conclusin, este libro cuestiona la naturalizacin de los cnones nacionales por el descubrimiento de las polticas de gnero detrs de lo que se echa determinada como natural por idiomas y geografa. Hacer esto tambin expone a las restricciones de gnero paralelas en el trabajo detrs aparentemente opuestos central (espaol) y (Galicia) proyectos nacionales perifricos.

Emilia Pardo Bazan's place in Spanish and Galician literatures has been hard won, and she has yet to receive the recognition she deserves. In Gnero, nacin y literatura: Emilia Pardo Bazn en la literatura gallega y Espaola, Carmen Pereira-Muro studies the work and persona of this fascinating author in the context of Spanish and Galician competing nationalisms. She re-reads the literary histories and national canons of Spain and Galicia as patriarchal master narratives that struggle to assimilate or silence Pardo Bazn's alternative national project.

Pereira-Muro argues that Pardo Bazn posited the inclusion of women in the national culture as a key step in circumventing the representational logic behind Realism and Liberalism in the modern nation-state. By insisting that women should be equal partners, Pardo Bazn problematically adopted the patriarchal binarism that assigns women to Nature and men to Culture, but she also subverted it by denying its supplemental relationship. Her astute choice and manipulation of masculine cultural models (Realism, not Romanticism; prose, not poetry; Castilian language, not Galician) ultimately won her-despite fierce opposition-inclusion in the Spanish national canon. Furthermore, the study of her thorny relations with emerging Galician nationalism shows that her exclusion from "Galician literature" was due largely to her transgressive gender performance.

Finally Pereira-Muro contends that in the author's last novel, Pardo Bazn experimented with creating a feminine writing and a feminine canon for Spain. Nevertheless, the prevailing gender politics ensured that only her realist (masculine) production made it into the Spanish canon, and not this last, modernist (feminine) writing. In conclusion, this book questions the naturalization of national canons by uncovering the gender politics behind what is cast as naturally determined by language and geography. Doing this also exposes the parallel gender strictures at work behind seemingly opposed central (Spanish) and peripheral (Galician) national projects.
