Space, gender and criticism in El niño de Brenes, by Lola Ramos de la Vega

Espacio, género y crítica en El niño de Brenes, de Lola Ramos de la Vega

Abstract

This article offers a critical rereading of Lola Ramos de la Vega's play, *El niño de Brenes*, from a feminist and geocritical perspective. Through an analysis of authorial spaces, fictional spaces, and those occupied by female characters, it explores how the Andalusian context acts not only as a setting but also as an element of identity and protest. The author subverts certain conventions of the género chico (a type of short, light theatrical piece) and proposes a reflection on the dynamics of power, gender, and culture, revaluing short plays as a space of symbolic resistance.
