María Xosé Queizán’s Amor de tango and the transition feminist discourses from a sociocritic perspective

Abstract

Amor de tango is the key novel in the galician feminist narrative. The novel debates about the memory of the civil war and Franco dictatorship. The tools of sociocriticism are suitables to analysis of the feminists discourses in the spanish transition to democracy. The critical perspective of Marie-Pierrette Malcuzynski, within feminist criticism, is also applicable for analysing the others discourses of minorities like ethnic minorities. The demarginalisation of the peripheral discourses in Amor de tango makes possible to realize the republican and Franco’s discourse about the women in Galicia.
