Resumen
[ES]El ser humano siempre ha añorado la sensación de transcender los límites de su propia mortalidad,
creando así infinidad de supuestos utópicos que permiten la eternidad de sus ideas al implementarlas en
la sociedad. Sin embargo, tal ejecución supondrá el inevitable condicionamiento de la comunidad, en
especial de la mujer, pues su rol reproductivo permitirá la creación de dichos futuros ficticios. La
presente investigación tiene como objetivo exponer cómo la mujer se convierte en un espacio utópico
para satisfacer los ideales patriarcales. Para ello, los estudios utópicos y de género convergerán bajo la
aproximación distopológica. Concretamente, se estudiarán la disyuntiva de arquetipos femeninos y la
distorsión de su identidad hasta ser relegada a un ser ausente y privado de voz. Así pues, mediante la
distopificación de varios textos literarios, descubriremos el disentimiento de la mujer, no solo en mundos
dístopicos, sino también en la realidad como reflejo de toda distopía.
[EN]Humankind has always felt the yearning of transcending the limits of its own mortality, creating an infinite number of utopian scenarios that enable the individual eternity to their ideas in its application to society. However, such enforcement inevitably conditions the rest of that community, especially women, since their reproductive function enables the creation of fictional futures. The central objective of the present research lies in the exposition of woman as the site of utopian fulfilment, who satisfies the ideals of the patriarchal utopian dream. For this, Utopian Studies and Gender Studies converge under Dystopology. Particularly, the study focuses on the quandary of female arquetypes and the distortion of her identity until her removal from society, left as an absent speechless character. This study gives voice to the female dissident through a process of dystopification in severa! literary texts, as well as in reality, being that the mirror of ali dystopias.
