Abstract
En este artículo se analizan diferentes tipos de conductas y subjetividades femeninas etiquetadas como abyectas y patológicas en el contexto cultural de la Restauración española. Prácticas sociales procedentes de campos muy diversos (medicina, derecho, criminología, literatura, pedagogía) funcionaron conformando las figuras de la adúltera, la ninfómana, la lesbiana y la transgenérica, como contrapartidas de la fémina modélica. El diseño de estas subjetividades desviadas sirvió así para fabricar a la mujer correcta, pero al mismo tiempo puso de manifiesto la contingencia y fragilidad de las normas de género.
In this paper we analyze different types of female conducts and subjectivities, labelled as abjects and pathological in the cultural context of the Spanish Restoration. Social practices coming from different sites (medicine, law, criminology, literature and pedagogy) shaped the figures of the adulteress, the nymphoman, the lesbian and the transgender as counterparts of the normative female condition. The design of these deviant subjectivities served the purpose of making the straight woman, but, at the same time, it showed the contingency and weakness of gender norms.
