We analyse the short story “The Things We Lost in the Fire”, focusing on the concept of the feminine sinister and dystopia, inserted in the macrogenre of the unusual. In the narrative, several female characters decide to become sinister subjects, subverting the system, by adopting the attitude of burning themselves, with the aim of circumventing the violence imposed by the men who have always set them on fire: this is the solution found by them to resist and survive. With a provocative (open) ending, the narrator produces anguish about the future of women in society. We will weave the analyses based mainly on the works of Andrea Abalia (2014), Inés Ordiz (2014; 2019), Adriana Goicochea (2018), Anna Boccutti (2020), Dayanara Guevara Aguirre (2020), and Izabel Fontes (2020).

摘要

We analyse the short story “The Things We Lost in the Fire”, focusing on the concept of the feminine sinister and dystopia, inserted in the macrogenre of the unusual. In the narrative, several female characters decide to become sinister subjects, subverting the system, by adopting the attitude of burning themselves, with the aim of circumventing the violence imposed by the men who have always set them on fire: this is the solution found by them to resist and survive. With a provocative (open) ending, the narrator produces anguish about the future of women in society. We will weave the analyses based mainly on the works of Andrea Abalia (2014), Inés Ordiz (2014; 2019), Adriana Goicochea (2018), Anna Boccutti (2020), Dayanara Guevara Aguirre (2020), and Izabel Fontes (2020).
