Irlanda del Norte, el Conflicto norirlandés, masculinidad, carnavalesco, Derry GirlsResumen
A pesar de ser aclamada por crítica y público como una excelente ficción coral femenina, Derry Girls (2018-19) también aborda la subjetividad masculina en un período en el que el proceso de paz y los efectos de la globalización permearon la renegociación de la masculinidad como discurso en Irlanda del Norte. Las relaciones intergeneracionales son clave para entender la evolución de los personajes masculinos como Joe (epítome del hardman), Gerry (new man) o James. A través de elementos como lo carnivalesco, la liminalidad, el espacio y la emasculación, este artículo abordará hasta qué punto los personajes masculinos, varados en un tiempo y un espacio tan cambiantes, representan el colapso estructural de la construcción social del género en Irlanda del Norte en los años previos al alto el fuego.
