description The feminine identity has been dominated by a stereotype that impoverishes it, but the masculine identity has also been stereotyped in a complementary way. Carmen Martel’s La estrella de rubíes presents a series of signs that seem to go veiled against the passive image of women and the active image of men. In this work, the psychological, historical and literary reasons for stereotypes in literature in general, and specifically in children’s adventure stories are studied. Likewise, a psycho critical study of the “lapsus calami” and the ironies that reduce the nobility of male characters and enhance the character of Belica is made. It is concluded that, although La estrella de rubíes most of the time presents a conservative image that allowed its acceptance, also offers a gender claim that can be read between the lines.

La identidad femenina ha estado dominada por un estereotipo que la empobrece, pero la identidad masculina también ha sido estereotipada de manera complementaria. La estrella de rubíes de Carmen Martel presenta una serie de indicios que parecen ir veladamente en contra de la imagen pasiva de la mujer y de la imagen activa del hombre. En este trabajo, se estudian las razones psicológicas, históricas y literarias de los estereotipos en la literatura en general y específicamente en los relatos de aventuras infantiles. Asimismo, se hace un estudio psicocrítico de los "lapus calami" y las ironías que reducen la nobleza a los personajes masculinos y engrandecen el personaje de Belica. Se concluye que, aunque La estrella de rubíes la mayor parte del tiempo presenta una imagen conservadora que permitió su aceptación, pero que ofrece una reivindicación de género que puede ser leída entre líneas. A identidade feminina tem sido dominada por um estereótipo que a empobrece, mas a identidade masculina também tem sido estereotipada de forma complementar. La estrella de rubíes de Carmens Martel apresenta uma série de signos que parecem ir velados contra a imagem passiva da mulher e a imagem ativa do homem. Neste trabalho, são estudadas as razões psicológicas, históricas e literárias dos estereótipos na literatura em geral e especificamente nas histórias de aventura infantil. Da mesma forma, é feito um estudo psicocrítico dos lapsos calami e das ironias que reduzem a nobreza dos personagens masculinos e valorizam o caráter de Belica. Conclui-se que, embora La estrella de rubíes na maioria das vezes apresente uma imagem conservadora que permitiu sua aceitação, oferece uma afirmação de gênero que pode ser lida nas entrelinhas.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2023-07-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/14425 10.19053/01218530.n45.2023.14425 La Palabra; No. 45 (2023): Miscellaneous issue; 1-16 La Palabra; Núm. 45 (2023): Número Misceláneo; 1-16 La Palabra; n. 45 (2023): Miscelâneo; 1-16 2346-3864 0121-8530 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/14425/13224 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/14425/14110 Derechos de autor 2023 La Palabra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
