Resumen
The article analyzes Las malas (2019), by Camila Sosa Villada, and aims to analyze the different meanings that the transvestite body is given in said novel. In the diegesis, said body is considered as an abject body and, therefore, it is repudiated, proscribed, violated. But, also, it is a body that allows agency, a certain autonomy, at the same time that it becomes an object that bothers, disturbs, the bases of the sex-gender system, that is why it is subjected to various forms of violence that try to discipline it, silence it, normalize it. In this sense, the transvestite body stands as a simulacrum, but which, in a significant way, manifests itself as something unprecedented, unique.
