IBANEZ, Agustina. Body, nudity and silence in La mujer desnuda (the naked woman) by Armonía Somers. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2021, n.43, pp.15-36. ISSN 0716-5811.  http://dx.doi.org/10.29344/0717621x.43.2549.

This article studies the body-nudity binomial in La mujer desnuda (In English: The Naked Woman) (1950) by Uruguayan writer Armonía Somers (1914-1994). The objective is to show that in this novel the nude-female-body is configured as a space from which the relationship of male domination over women is questioned. The supremacy that both philosophy and religion have given to Reason, intellect or the spirit over the somatic, is broken. The reading route that is traced allows us to observe that Somers builds corporeality from silence, resignifying this no place that the body has had in the philosophical tradition.
