Resumen
MATA LI, Mariela. Hegemonic Masculinity within a Repressive Environment: La ciudad y los perros by Mario Vargas Llosa. Acta poét [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.2, pp.125-144. Epub 29-Ago-2022. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2022.2.178x270s7.
This article analyzes the construction of the male characters in La ciudad y los perros by Mario Vargas Llosa, a canonical text of Latin American literature, to provide a new reading focused on the discourses of power and sexuality. Thus, it is examined whether the repressive environment of the military school in which the cadets are immersed serves to reinforce gender codes or, on the contrary, to show multiple ways of “being a man”.
