Las funciones narrativas desde una perspectiva femenina: los ejemplos de las trilogías All Souls y Winternight

Main Article Content

Catalina Millán Scheiding

Resumen

Este artículo ofrece un análisis comparativo de dos reconocidas trilogías fantásticas escritas por mujeres y con protagonista femenina, la trilogía All Souls de Deborah Harkness y la trilogía Winternight de Katherine Arden. Al poner el foco en un análisis cualitativo de las funciones narrativas desde la teoría narratológica estructuralista y a través de las acciones de los personajes principales (héroe/villano), el artículo considera que la heroína demuestra una motivación personal en ambas trilogías, que resulta en un impacto más amplio de su misión en lo colectivo. La motivación personal aparece relacionada con la protección de la familia y la subyacente construcción de una percepción particular del afecto. Esta motivación modifica los roles tradicionales y el impacto de las funciones narratológicas en otros personajes, y ofrece una alternativa de las relaciones de poder.
