Description/Abstract
Mexican writer Ana Clavel's Los deseos y su sombra (1999) is a socially engaged text which explores questions of gender within a broad context. Its endeavour to challenge monological versions of historical truth and to reconstruct alternative conceptions of national identity is linked to the creation of a non-patriarchal conception of female subjectivity. The text's exploration of the female subject is analysed in the context of Kristeva's theories of the sujet en procès and the abject, applied specifically to the mother-daughter relationship, desire and (dis)embodiment, the role of the mirror in the construction of subjectivity, and the alter ego.
