Approaching Hegemonic Masculinity Through the Character Polo in the Novel Páradais by Fernanda Melchor (English)
Abstract [es]

Páradais de Fernanda Melchor aborda la masculinidad y la desigualdad social en el México dehoy. El objetivo de esta tesina ha sido analizar las distintas formas de masculinidad hegemónica e interseccionalidad presentes en el texto como factores que provocan desigualdad y discriminación. Para ello, nos hemos centrado en el personaje Polo, central en la novela, por ser el personaje aglutinador de la mayoría de los modelos de discriminación y sumisión ejercidos por los demás personajes en la novela. Como conclusión, se presenta a este personaje como víctima de una discriminación múltiple que tiene tanto que ver con la masculinidad hegemónica ejercida por hombres y mujeres como con la interseccionalidad.

Abstract [en]

Páradais by Fernanda Melchor addresses masculinity and social inequality in today’s Mexico. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the different forms of hegemonic masculinity and intersectionality present in the text as factors that cause inequality and discrimination. Focus is on the character Polo, central in the novel, as he embodies most of the patterns of discrimination and submission exercised by other characters in the story. In conclusion, this character is presented as a victim of multiple discrimination, influenced both by the hegemonic masculinity practised by both men and women, and by intersectionality.
