La representación de la “chola” limeña en la narrativa (¿light?) de Jaime Bayly
Bibliographic record
Abstract
En este ensayo se analizará la representación de las identidades femeninas andinas en la narrativa de Jaime Bayly y se argumentará que dicha representación sigue relegada a posiciones inferiores e inferiorizadas, además de estereotipadas. En el ámbito doméstico, son las empleadas del hogar; en la calle, las prostitutas; y en la sierra, siguen siendo las salvajes, sucias, borrachas e inmorales. Se cuestionará la justicia que esta representación hace de la mujer andina y se recalcará la importancia y trascendencia que conlleva el hecho de que esta imagen sea ofrecida en obras literarias de carácter “popular” e internacional como las de Bayly. Además, se defenderá que en la sociedad limeña, el “problema del indio” (en palabras del filósofo marxista Mariátegui) no es únicamente un problema de carácter biológico sino en mayor grado un problema económico, de clase y status social, de cultura y de prácticas culturales, de lengua, geografía, educación y hasta de carácter personal. Finalmente, se remarcará el carácter novedoso en la historia literaria peruana del tratamiento que Bayly lleva a cabo de la homosexualidad en personajes masculinos de clase media-alta, aunque se enfatizará de igual modo la relación de dominación y de nula solidaridad entre estos sujetos, oprimidos por su sexualidad, frente a la mujer “chola” en Lima, oprimida por su género, etnia y clase social. En definitiva, la ya histórica escasez de la propia voz de la mujer indígena en la literatura peruana y su representación unas veces irreal otras tantas injusta sigue teniendo lugar en la narrativa de Bayly. The aim of this paper is to analyze how Andean female identities are represented in the narratives by the Peruvian writer and journalist Jaime Bayly, arguing that these female characters continue being stereotyped and represented as the occupiers of the lowest and lowered positions in society: in the domestic sphere, they are the maids; in the street, the whores; and in the mountains, they keep being portrayed as savage, dirty, drunkards and immoral. More precisely, it is my main focus to question the importance of how fair the representations of the female indigenous characters are in Bayly’s novels, considering their popularity and international renown. Also, the novelty in the treatment of the Peruvian male middle-class homosexual will be emphasized but also the relation of domination and the lack of solidarity between this subject, frequently discriminated due to his sexuality, and the “chola”, commonly discriminated due to her gender, ethnicity and social class. Finally, it will be examined how in the current Perú, especifically in Lima, the “problema del indio”, although deriving from ethnicity questions, is more an issue of economic matters, class and social status, culture and cultural practices, language, geography, education and even personal questions.In short, the traditional lack of the Andean women‘s voice in the history of Peruvian literature and their unfair and unreal representation continue to occur in Jaime Bayly’s narratives.
