Abstract

El álbum, El mal querer (2018), de la artista española, Rosalía, se basa en un romance medieval, El Roman de Flamenca, y cuenta la historia de una mujer que sufre violencia de género a manos de su esposo. Esta obra no solamente dialoga con Flamenca, sino que también conversa con una variedad de textos musicales y visuales. Usando primariamente la noción de la transtextualidad expresada por Gerard Genette en su obra, Palimpsestos (1982), esta tesis explora cómo las relaciones transtextuales en los aspectos literarios, musicales y visuales de El mal querer indaga el tema de la violencia de género cómo se presentó históricamente y hoy en día.

The album, El mal querer (2018), by the Spanish artist, Rosalía, is based on a medieval romance, El Roman de Flamenca, and tells the story of a woman who suffers gender violence at the hands of her husband. This album not only converses with Flamenca, but with a variety of musical and visual texts, as well. Using primarily the notion of transtextuality expressed by Gerard Genette in his work, Palimpsests (1982), this thesis investigates how the transtextual relationships in the literary, musical, and visual aspects of El mal querer explore the presentation of the theme of gender violence historically and today.
