Leonora Carrington y sus memorias: Una experiencia de violencia y locura

Abstract

Down below is a diary, a journey through the mind of Leonora Carrington, who becomes a therapeutic catharsis. Her nervous breakdown, as a result of the hostile world around her, will be condensed and narrated in a short time, five days, by the English artist. The narrated episodes offer a fuzzy border between reality and fiction that, very often, hinders the work of analysis. The thread of time, safe in the early days of her narrative, despite her lack of sanity, breaks downs as the description goes on. But that is, also, a denunciation of the violence exerted on women and, in this case, on a woman who, after suffering a nervous breakdown, is in a weak position in front of her family and the society of her time
