Abstract

Through her autobiographical character, Maliki 4 Ojos, Marcela Trujillo
bridges genres such as the chronicle, the intimate diary, and comics. She
examines the stereotypes that the hegemonic male gaze has imposed on the
body and women’s sexuality. The attainment of sexual pleasure is presented as
detached from motherhood and includes autoeroticism. Motherhood is
portrayed in a dialectical exchange with monstrosity, using a combination of
ideas and drawings that functions as counter-discourse to the representation
of the ideal or perfect mother according to the dominant socio-cultural
perspective.
