Abstract
The purpose of this article is to expose certain places from which it is possible to ques on how House of Cards pro blematizes a memory of gender. In that sense, one of its main characters, Claire Underwood, operates a model of woman that amalgamates two mythical gures of the Western cul ture and discuss canonical features of the feminine: that is to say, Lady Macbeth and Eva Perón, “lighthouse” personaliti es to think this about complexity. The contribu ons of the cultural semiotics of Iuri Lotman become functional for the construction of a privileged theore cal framework, oriented to study how these massive and artisti c texts dynamize the memories of the cultures. From this perspective, we understand that this fiction exhibits a way in which contemporaneity questions the status of woman on the political scene and her forms of empowerment, a premise that can be explored in a multiplicity of current series.
