Feminicidio mítico / Mythic Feminicide [Spanish]

«Lo que hace Carri n es buscar las razones m s profundas, que van m s all de la estructura patriarcal-estatal que nos tiene sumidas en la violencia actual, para tratar de entender de d nde m s puede venir tanto odio. -Gabriela Jauregui

Ocurre un feminicidio que impacta en la opini n p blica. La prensa reporta y da detalles por alg n tiempo. Poco despu s, un canal de televisi n lanza una historia basada en "hechos reales". O una pel cula. Una banda de m sica le hace una composici n. Con el tiempo, una casa de moda lanza una mercanc a vinculada a aquel feminicidio.

Las historias de feminicidios, o aspectos de ellos, se han convertido en objetos de consumo cultural en el cine, la literatura, e incluso en la moda de alta gama femenina. La muerte violenta de una mujer se ha vendido como una mercanc a dirigida a otras mujeres.

Lydiette Carri n --autora de La fosa de agua-- explora en este libro la forma en que los feminicidios han sido narrados y mistificados, hasta llegar a ser usados, al menos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, para posicionar productos de consumo, a la par que fomentan la asimilaci n de figuras estereotipadas de la feminidad y la violencia de g nero.

A lo largo de estas p ginas se revisa la representaci n del feminicidio en la cultura de occidente, as como en otros momentos hist ricos y geograf as. Tambi n se indaga sobre el aparente inter s de algunas mujeres en ciertas historias criminales y los porqu s detr s de lo que parece ser una tendencia pasajera iniciada por las series de true crime.

Feminicidio m tico es un libro imprescindible para entender c mo la cultura ha convertido la violencia de g nero en un objeto de consumo e incluso en s mbolo de identidad, y ofrece una mirada cr tica sobre la escenificaci n y representaci n de las v ctimas de feminicidio, lo que nos permite explorar las resistencias contra este ambiente al que podemos llamar femicig nico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"What Carri n does is search for the deepest reasons--those that go beyond the patriarchal-state structure that has submerged us in today's violence--in order to understand where so much hatred might also come from." --Gabriela Jauregui

A femicide occurs and shocks public opinion. The press reports on it and offers details for a time. Soon after, a television channel releases a story "based on true events." Or a film. A band composes a song about it. Eventually, a fashion house launches merchandise tied to that femicide. Stories of femicides, or aspects of them, have become objects of cultural consumption--in film, literature, and even high-end women's fashion. The violent death of a woman has been marketed as a commodity aimed at other women.

Lydiette Carri n--author of La fosa de agua--explores in this book the ways in which femicides have been narrated and mythologized, becoming, at least since the second half of the twentieth century, vehicles for positioning consumer products while reinforcing stereotyped images of femininity and gendered violence.

These pages examine the representation of femicide in Western culture, as well as in other historical moments and geographies. The book also investigates the apparent fascination some women have with certain criminal stories and the reasons behind what seems to be a trend sparked by true crime series.

Mythic Femicide is an essential book for understanding how culture has transformed gender-based violence into a consumer object and even a symbol of identity. It offers a critical perspective on the staging and representation of femicide victims, allowing us to explore the forms of resistance to this environment we might call femicigenic.
