La industria de la moda es la principal causante de la aparición de los estereotipos y de la invisibilización de la diversidad que posee el cuerpo femenino. Debido a esto se ha idealizado un único tipo de cuerpo y representado de una única forma. La búsqueda por un cuerpo ̈perfecto ̈ surge con fuerza a partir de los años 50, época en la cual Hollywood alcanza su mayor auge. En dicha época comienza a haber una mayor búsqueda de la perfección, la cual es desencadenada por la aparición de las actrices de Hollywood. Actualmente, la diversidad del cuerpo femenino ha adquirido mayor relevancia en el Perú. Sin embargo, aún existe la idealización y la búsqueda de un solo tipo de cuerpo ̈perfecto ̈ por la misma sociedad. Es por ello que la presente investigación tiene como objetivo general diseñar una colección a partir del análisis teórico y visual de la diversidad del cuerpo femenino. Este objetivo se centrará en representar la diversidad a través de las siluetas, formas y colores que posee este. Del mismo modo, se recopilará información a través de una entrevista realizada a un diseñador de multimedia, el cual nos proporcionará información relevante sobre el tema a analizar. / The fashion industry is the main cause of the appearance of stereotypes and the invisibility of the diversity that the female body possesses. Because of this, a single body type has been idealized and represented in a single way. The search for a ̈perfect ̈ body emerged strongly from the 1950s, when Hollywood reached its peak. At that time there begins to be a greater search for perfection, which is triggered by the appearance of Hollywood actresses. Currently, the diversity of the female body has acquired greater relevance in Peru. However, there is still the idealization and the search for a single "perfect" body type by the same society. That is why the present research has the general objective of designing a collection based on the theoretical and visual analysis of the diversity of the female body. This objective will focus on representing diversity through the silhouettes, shapes and colors that it has. In the same way, information will be collected through an interview with a multimedia designer, who will provide us with relevant information on the subject to be analyzed. / Trabajo de investigación

<p>The narrative of the Ecuadorian César Dávila Andrade (Cuenca, Ecuador 1918 - Caracas, Venezuela 1967) is of great importance for the literature of his country; however, it has not been studied very frequently, as critics have focused on his poetry. This has mainly shown Dávila Andrade as a poet, rather than a narrator. However, his short stories constitute a considerable body of work and must be considered for a global understanding of his work. This dissertation aims to show that the short stories have to be considered an important part of the literary work of Dávila Andrade. Furthermore, the dissertation is part of a process of a contemporary rereading of Ecuadorian canonical authors; specifically, I propose an innovative analysis, based on abjection, gender and body, of texts that have traditionally been studied from narratological and stylistic perspectives only. For this study, I selected stories from different periods in Davila Andrade's career: “Un centinela ve la vida aparecer” (1966), “El hombre que limpió su arma” (1966), “Cabeza de gallo” (1966), “La autopsia” (Revista Tomebamba 1943), “Autopsia” (1952), “Las nubes y las sombras” (1952), “Un cuerpo extraño” (1955), “El último remedio” (1955), “La batalla” (1955), “La mirada de Dios” (1949), and “Ataúd de cartón” (1952). In these short stories, abjection is a subversive category that allows the author to question the constitution and ontology of reality. Julia Kristeva’s theoretical proposal defines abjection as what reminds the individual of a state of being of undifferentiation (before and after existence), in which he/she ceases to be; the presence of the abject puts at risk the existence of the subject within a social system. Specifically, the body in different states in the Davilian narrative is the main abject element that disfigures the categories and hierarchies of symbolic systems (patriarchy and religion are some examples). The Davilian body is essentially feminine and constitutes abjection; it is presented as a border space where reality loses its contours. Similarly, the diseased body and the corpse are constant elements in the Davilian narrative, inhabitants of unstable worlds, which invade places and the characters’ psyches. In conclusion, Dávila Andrade's short stories are occupied by the abjection of bodies, which functions as a concept that allows the dismantling of imposed, closed systems, based on hierarchies, such as patriarchy and religion.</p>
