The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze the critical and social discourse in the work of Puerto Rican writer Teresa Marichal Lugo. Specifically, it examines the post-feminist perspective established by the characters of the playwright as discursive entities that destabilize the patriarchal ideological and cultural system. The first chapter presents the theoretical frame of the study. As such, it considers the development of the minor literature concept and its relation to post-feminist literature. In light of this theoretical discussion, the second chapter analyzes the play Paseo al atardecer; a text that dismantles the biopolitical fiction of the woman-motherhood dyad. Likewise, the third chapter analyzes the monologue Piel; a critical reflection that celebrates the repossession of the female body. Finally, the last chapter discusses the monologue Rejum-Reja-Mujer-Rejum as a denouncement of the arbitrariness and deceitfulness in the cultural and ideological androcentric system.
