Resumen

Este artículo explora una serie de dispositivos visuales-textuales utilizados en la representación de figuras paternas en el poemario The Father (Sharon Olds, 1992) y la memoria gráfica Fun Home (Alison Bechdel, 2006). Argumento que la literatura puede contribuir a deshacer la fusión de la paternidad y el patriarcado al retratar a los padres como individuos complejos, falibles y, sobre todo, reales, en oposición al principio abstracto incorpóreo que ha prevalecido en las culturas occidentales. Sostendré que las cualidades subyacentes de la ficción dominante pueden subvertirse a través de una serie de mecanismos formales relacionados con el campo visual que buscan fomentar la participación del lector. Al hacerlo, tanto The Father como FunHome brindan alternativas a las representaciones tradicionales de la figura paterna.
