The Contestation of Patriarchy in Luis Martin-Santos' Work

2020 Palgrave hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. This book proposes that Spanish author Luis Martin-Santos’ work focuses on the effects of patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity on men, to actively contribute to freeing both men and women from the yoke of patriarchy. It aims for a new resonance of Luis Martin-Santos’ analyses the influence of Heidegger, Freud and Sartre in Martin-Santos' psychiatric essays and his fictional works: the novel Tiempo de silencio (Time of Silence), the collection of short stories Apologos, and the posthumous fragment Tiempo de destruccion (Time of Destruction). It demonstrates that alongside the political critique of Franco’s dictatorship, Martin-Santos' creative writings are an attempt to destroy the prevalent masculine myths of Western patriarchy, and a proposal to create new myths for the future.
