This research work proposes a literary study of crime fiction written by Florencia Etcheves and Melina Torres from Argentina, and Dolores Redondo and Berna González Harbour from Spain. These authors published a series of novels with a female protagonist in a detective role, between 2011 and 2021, thus leaving behind the stereotype of a male detective and other female representations subjugated to the patriarchal gaze, for example, the femme fatale. In the thesis I propose to examine each protagonist from a socio-literary perspective through the classic concepts of “public and private”, “power and leadership”, “motherhood and sexuality” elaborated by different scholars such as Foucault or Valcarcel. I also propose a historical overview of the transformations of characters in crime fiction. This comparative analysis is based on the growing tendency to study contributions by women in various fields of knowledge and, in this case, in the literary sphere. Aware that detective literature clearly represents the social changes of each period, the selected narratives project through their protagonists the idea of a Western woman who dominates the 21st century.

Abstract

This research work proposes a literary study of crime fiction written by Florencia Etcheves and Melina Torres from Argentina, and Dolores Redondo and Berna González Harbour from Spain. These authors published a series of novels with a female protagonist in a detective role, between 2011 and 2021, thus leaving behind the stereotype of a male detective and other female representations subjugated to the patriarchal gaze, for example, the femme fatale. In the thesis I propose to examine each protagonist from a socio-literary perspective through the classic concepts of “public and private”, “power and leadership”, “motherhood and sexuality” elaborated by different scholars such as Foucault or Valcarcel. I also propose a historical overview of the transformations of characters in crime fiction. This comparative analysis is based on the growing tendency to study contributions by women in various fields of knowledge and, in this case, in the literary sphere. Aware that detective literature clearly represents the social changes of each period, the selected narratives project through their protagonists the idea of a Western woman who dominates the 21st century.
