The linage of Snow White

The linage of Snow White

This article finds the psychoanalytic conceptual design of narrative archetypes
that manifest in children’s stories alternatives. These archetypes are considered in psychoanalysis as universal and ahistorical, but an analysis that considers patriarchy as a historical model allows relativize the representations
expressed in social and literary narrative. This research documentary is made
by the textual and contextual analysis of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm,
as an example of the patriarchal narratives. Analysis suggests that the models
correspond to the patriarchal structure and it has been modified with phenomena
such as the insertion of women in public life and productive activity,
which has changed family relationships and has produced other stories that
keep you away from the plasma model in White and manifested in the fictional
television melodrama. It is concluded that is possible to think of a cultural narrative
that is rooted in local areas and to break with the patriarchal narratives.
