The Woman-Object Represented in the Narcoseries Las muñecas de la mafia and Sin tetas no hay paraíso

Abstract

In the following paper I analyze the feminine representation that is constructed in two colombian narcoseries, Sin tetas no hay paraíso and Las muñecas de la mafia, in order to demonstrate that both generate a discourse by means of which the notion of the female body as a normalized object of consumption. I take as a theoretical basis Foucault’s concept of biopower, Ovalle and Giacomello’s views on women in the narco-world and the etiology of Segato’s violence. I conclude that under the perspective of narcoculture, which has been becoming a dominant ideology, the number of women who align themselves with these practices, which degrades and minimizes them, is increasing, which is why I consider this phenomenon a social problem reason for reflection.
