Abstract
AILLON, Virginia. Silvia Molloy and María Luisa Bastos' Contribution to the Reading of Pedro Páramo. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.40, pp.143-152. ISSN 2077-3323.
This text analyzes two works on Pedro Páramo, the novel of Juan Rulfo, written in the 70s by argentine critics Sylvia Molloy and María Luisa Bastos. It is considered that these texts contributed the criticism of the novel identifying at least two elements: i) the concept of substitution that allows observing the constitution of not only female characters, and ii) "the feminine", in general, and the figure of Susana San Juan, in particular, as a structuring thread of the novel. Subsequently, the impact of Molloy and Bastos' point of view on the critique of Pedro Páramo is briefly analyzed.
