Misiá señora de Ángel: el cronotopo del futuro o el símil de la conciencia femenina liberada

Abstract

This work explores the narrative voices of three generations of women, grandmother, mother and daughter who bear the same name Mariana, in the novel Misiá Señora (1982) by Albalucía Ángel. Our proposal inscribes this novel in the genre of the Bildungsroman feminine, which takes place during the twentieth century in Colombia. So, from our reading, the bet that the author makes to create a fourth narrator-witness, which gravitates around the narrative voices of the grandmother, mother and daughter, produces at the same time a metalepsis and involves potential recipients in the process of awareness. There is then an emphasis on the idea of feminine genealogy that would constitute the metaphorical space to think and weave the great work of a subjectivity, because it is not only a generational drama, but a work that relates the experiences of women and readers in general, through narrative mediation and sorority. It is possible to glimpse a female subject that is not reduced to the social structures that exclude, but is in constant process of revision and sister with other women, through writing, as a hopefulgesture.
