Resumo

Aquest article explora una sèrie de dispositius visuals-textuals utilitzats en la representació de figures paternes en el poemari The Father (Sharon Olds, 1992) i la novel·la gràfica Fun Home(Alison Bechdel, 2006). Exposo que la literatura pot contribuir a desfer la fusió de paternitat i patriarcat quan es retrata als pares com a individus complexos, fal·libles i, sobretot, reals, en oposició al principi abstracte incorpori que ha predominat en les cultures occidentals. Sostindré que les qualitats subjacents de la ficció dominant poden subvertir-se a través d’una sèrie de mecanismes formals relacionats amb el camp visual que busquen fomentar la participació del lector. En fer-ho, tant The Father com Fun Home brinden alternatives a les representacions tradicionals de la figura paterna.
