Keywords:
Balún Canán, Rosario Castellanos, Historical congruence, Poetic congruence, Critical congruence., Cardenismo.Abstract
This article aims to identify and analyze the presence of historical, poetic and critical data in Balún Canán, by Rosario Castellanos. Much has already been studied about approaches to the life of the author, however, through a sociocritical analysis, this study offers a broad view to other aspects such as the relationship of the story with the Mexican national history, in which it recovers episodes of Cardenismo, the Cristero War and the agrarian reform of the thirties. Regarding poetic and critical congruence, this study shows that is the work with the greatest poetic sense in the prose production of Castellanos, besides that, in it, the writer assumes a marked critical position regarding the behavior of her female characters facing male supremacy, thus inaugurating an early critique of the patriarchal societies of the Mexican province in the first decades of the twentieth century.
