La erótica de Mayra Santos-Febres
Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal Scientific Information System
This paper is an analysis, within the limits of erotics, of the novel Sirena Selena vestida de pena, by Puerto Rican author Mayra Santos-Febres. Ideas of transvestites and womens correct bodies are deconstructed through a language of solidarity. Selena constructs a femenine body that reaches its limit when s/he seduces the apparently macho Hugo Graubel, who insists on being penetrated by the transvestite. The main characters crisis reveals itself when s/he claims her personal erotic identity as transgender and not as a man who crossdresses. The transvestites masculinity clashes with her vestido de pena (sorrow dress), to the point that s/he flees the narrative, the mystery of her disappearance left unresolved. In this novel, Santos-Febres advocates erotics unburdened by taboos, erotics where each person accepts breaking through the barriers imposed by society

This paper is an analysis, within the limits of erotics, of the novel Sirena Selena vestida de pena, by Puerto Rican author Mayra Santos-Febres. Ideas of transvestites and womens correct bodies are deconstructed through a language of solidarity. Selena constructs a femenine body that reaches its limit when s/he seduces the apparently macho Hugo Graubel, who insists on being penetrated by the transvestite. The main characters crisis reveals itself when s/he claims her personal erotic identity as transgender and not as a man who crossdresses. The transvestites masculinity clashes with her vestido de pena (sorrow dress), to the point that s/he flees the narrative, the mystery of her disappearance left unresolved. In this novel, Santos-Febres advocates erotics unburdened by taboos, erotics where each person accepts breaking through the barriers imposed by society
