From Power-over to Power-to: Power Relations of Women in Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun Saravia Vargas, José Roberto Theater Teatro Lorraine Hansberry Derrida A Raisin in the Sun Power Poder Gender Ilustración "VCRasin__DSC7477", kabelphoto Because of binary oppositions shaping Western thought, power has been traditionally understood as male domination or as an unevenly distributed social resource between genders. However, an analysis of the power relationships of the three women in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun in the light of Derrida's thought shows that these notions do not take into account the dynamism and complexity of power relations and hints to the establishment of a new idea of power: transformative power. A causa de las oposiciones binarias que estructuran el pensamiento occidental, se ha entendido el poder tradicionalmente como dominación masculina o como un recurso social distribuido inequitativamente entre los géneros. No obstante, un análisis de las relaciones de poder de las tres mujeres en A Raisin in the Sun, de Lorraine Hansberry, basado en el pensamiento de Derrida, muestra que dichas nociones no toman en cuenta el dinamismo ni la complejidad en las relaciones de poder y sugiere el establecimiento de una nueva idea de poder: el poder transformativo. 2018-06-26T10:57:03Z 2018-06-26T10:57:03Z 2012-10-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Saravia Vargas, José Roberto.
