I argue that this redefinition, values the role of female characters who differ physically from the ideas of beauty that tend to be associated with a diva. This is significant since these characters belong to the working class of the country where the plot develops. Thus, these short stories pay tribute to other forms of femininity and knowledge that tend to be excluded from the status quo for not going along with aesthetic preferences and behaviors that reinforce machismo.En este trabajo analizaré la maner a en que Montañez redefine el concepto de diva en su colección de cuentos Las divas de mi barrio. Arguyo que su redefinición valoriza la función de personajes femeninos que no sólo difieren físicamente de las ideas de belleza que se asocian con una diva sino que pertenecen a la clase trabajadora del país donde se desarrolla la acción. Por lo tanto, en estos cuentos se rinde tributo a otras formas de femineidad y de conocimientos que tienden a quedar excluidos por no ir a tono con las conductas y estéticas que afianzan el machismo.  application/pdftext/htmlspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/4785/4274https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/4785/5359Derechos de autor 2016 LA PALABRAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf286http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2La Palabra; No. 28 (2016): January-June; 17-26La Palabra; Núm. 28 (2016): enero-junio; 17-26La Palabra; n. 28 (2016): Janeiro-Junho; 17-262346-38640121-8530Carmen MontañezPuerto Rican literaturedivaworking classArcadio Díaz QuiñonesCarmen Montañezliteratura puertorriqueñadivaclase trabajadoraArcadio Díaz QuiñonesStruggling divas: notes for a study of Las divas de mi barrio [Divas of my Neighborhood] by Carmen MontañezDivas en la brega: apuntes para el estudio de Las divas de mi barrio de Carmen Montañezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6785http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a369http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Lorenzo-Feliciano, Violeta001/12669oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/126692025-07-18 11:34:01.026metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
