Resumen

El presente estudio se suma al debate actual en estudios de transgeneridad tomando como casos de estudio el relato autobiográfico de Lili Elbe en Man Into Woman (1933), la novela The Danish Girl (2000) de David Ebershoff y la adaptación cinematográfica de esta última de Tom Hooper (2015). Si bien los tres exploran la relación entre biologismo y medicalización a través de la metáfora de la criatura de Frankenstein en la conceptualización de los cuerpos trans, este estudio pretende argumentar que la novela de Ebershoff, aunque tiende a alegorizar dichos cuerpos como ejemplos excepcionales de la problematización del género, se adentra en una sutil discusión política que ofrece a las identidades transgénero un tercer espacio andrógino y liberador.
