Abstract

Este artículo presenta una nueva lectura del texto autobiográfico de Luis Antonio de Villena, Mi colegio (2006). Propone revisar esta obra siguiendo las teorías de los afectos para destacar un contenido político subversivo que va más allá de la lectura memorialista. Además de la reivindicación de una víctima, defiende que el texto promueve una respuesta activa por parte de los lectores en contra de una visión patriarcal en la política y la sociedad españolas del momento.
 
 This article approaches the auto-fictional piece Mi colegio (2006) by Luis Antonio de Villena under the precepts of the politics of affection developed by Brian Massumi. Following the author’s revisit to his years as a high schooler at El Colegio del Pilar in Madrid in the sixties of the 20th century, Villena vindicates the need to destroy an idea of masculinity that forged in the Francoism of the economic stabilization and that has persisted until the 21st. Following Sianne Ngai’s ideas on Ugly Feelings I demonstrate that Villena’s project is an active one that demands a political commitment by the reader.
