SUAREZ REINA, Adriana Yamile. The Representation of Woman and the Ideals of Colombian Thought in The end of the XIX Century: the Metaphor of False Inclusion. La Palabra [online]. 2014, n.24, pp.33-41. ISSN 0121-8530.

At the end of XIX century and the beginning of XX century the nation building process passed through two adverse paths: the radical period (a liberal perspective), and the Regeneration period (a mostly conservative one). Based on this historical and social context, this paper analyzes the representation of woman during this turn of century, and aims at showing that the gender imaginary constructed in this period was primarily influenced by the metaphor of false inclusion. In each of these historical periods: we find a configured notion of power that includes woman in order to, paradoxically, exclude her. Based on the above mentioned metaphor, this paper ends with a short approach to Tomás Carrasquilla's position and the character Barbara Caballero in La marquesa de Yolombó, showing how this author presents the diatribe woman was confronted with: tradition versus independence.

Keywords : representation - women; metaphor; false inclusion.
