Abstract:

This research project studies a selection of Paraguayan short stories by Josefina Plá (Fuerteventura 1903 – Asunción 1999). Through the exploration of certain motifs she associated to Paraguayan history; her characterization of female protagonists; and the insertion of animate and inanimate objects she uses to mask a denunciation of social, cultural, ethical, and gender issues of the Paraguayan microcosm, this thesis seeks to contribute a fresh critical perspective to the limited body of academic literature devoted to her work and to modern Paraguayan literature.
