O libro da filla o la (in)felicidad performativa según Inma López Silva. (Galician)

The aim of this article is to analyse the representation of performative (un) happiness, with its mandates, promises, taboos and failures as codified in O Libro da Filla (2020), the last novel of the Galician writer Inma López Silva. Parting from the critical theory of emotions elaborated by Sara Ahmed in The promise of happiness (2010), I will see how the protagonists in the analysed text associate happiness with certain social roles, places, rituals or lifestyles, or even with certain ways of comprehending and experiencing the world. The above "happy objects" are imposed on them by the dominant cultural logic as guarantors of the "good life" and "scripts" of normative conduct. Likewise, we I will verify how and to what social extent the promotion of happy regulations conceals the "the psychic life of power" and causes the emergence of melancholy. Finally, the analysis of O Libro da Filla should reveal the political potential that lies in the archives of unhappiness and in the act of writing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O obxectivo deste artigo consiste en analizar a representación da (in)felicidade performativa, cos seus mandatos, promesas, tabús e fracasos, tal como quedou codificada en O libro da filla (2020), a última novela ata a data da escritora galega Inma López Silva. Partindo da teoría crítica das emocións elaborada por Sara Ahmed en La promesa de la felicidad (2019), veremos como os personaxes do texto analizado asocian a felicidade con determinados roles sociais, lugares, rituais ou estilos de vida, ou, incluso con determinadas maneiras de ver e vivir o mundo. Estes "obxectos felices" sonlles impostos pola lóxica cultural dominante como garantes da "boa vida" e "guións" de conduta normativa. Do mesmo xeito, comprobaremos de que maneira e baixo que condicións sociais o fomento da feliz normatividade oculta os "mecanismos psíquicos do poder" e provoca o xurdimento da melancolía. Por último, a análise de O libro da filla revelará o potencial político que radica nos arquivos da infelicidade e na escritura. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
