| description | In the first decade of the 21st century, diverse socio-cultural sectors, with different and even antagonistic agendas, dispute the right to fix the meanings of femininity and masculinity. Such a dispute is refracted in the television series Robin Hood (BBC, 2006-2009), whose figurations of heroicity function as an arena of gender dispute: the arena is the process of subjectivation, and the dispute, the right to normativize the ways of becoming a “man” or a “woman”. The struggle was concentrated around two contentious nodes – the depatriarchalization of masculinity and feminine empowerment– and developed over three seasons, to finally settle on options that annul the lines of flight from the heteropatriarchal system that were initially opened. |

El caso de la serie Robin Hood Luque, Cecilia Inés Heroicity Figurations Gender Technologies Heteropatriarchy Heroicidad Figuraciones Tecnología de género Heteropatriarcado In the first decade of the 21st century, diverse socio-cultural sectors, with different and even antagonistic agendas, dispute the right to fix the meanings of femininity and masculinity. Such a dispute is refracted in the television series Robin Hood (BBC, 2006-2009), whose figurations of heroicity function as an arena of gender dispute: the arena is the process of subjectivation, and the dispute, the right to normativize the ways of becoming a “man” or a “woman”. The struggle was concentrated around two contentious nodes – the depatriarchalization of masculinity and feminine empowerment– and developed over three seasons, to finally settle on options that annul the lines of flight from the heteropatriarchal system that were initially opened. En la primera década del siglo XXI diversos sectores socioculturales, con agendas diferentes e incluso antagónicas, se disputan el derecho de fijar los significados de femineidad y masculinidad. Tal disputa es refractada en la serie televisiva Robin Hood (BBC, 2006-2009), cuyas figuraciones de heroicidad funcionan como arena de lucha del género: la arena es el proceso de subjetivación y la lucha, el derecho de normativizar las maneras de devenir “hombre” o “mujer”. La lucha se concentró alrededor de dos núcleos contenciosos –la despatriarcalización de la masculinidad, el empoderamiento femenino– y se desarrolló a lo largo de tres temporadas, para decantarse finalmente por opciones que anulan las líneas de fuga del sistema heteropatriarcal abiertas inicialmente.
