Abstract

En 1933, el escritor mexicano Jaime Torres Bodet publicó en Madrid su novela Estrella de día , en la cual continúa con la tradición narrativa de la Hollywood novel que en España se había manifestado en textos de Ramón Gómez de la Serna, J. Calvo Alfaro o Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, entre otros. A partir del estudio de cómo una actriz se convierte en un ser ideal para el protagonista, se comprueba la manera en la que las estrategias de márquetin favorecen su mitificación. Sin embargo, también existen críticas al control mercantil sobre los cuerpos femeninos. Al estudiar ambos aspectos, se constata la paradoja de que, en la novela de Torres Bodet, el ascenso hacia el estatus de mito de la intérprete desmitifica la industria hollywoodiense por las técnicas de promoción que utiliza.

Alternate abstract:

In 1933, the Mexican writer Jaime Torres Bodet published in Madrid his novel Estrella de día , in which he continues with the narrative tradition of the Hollywood novel that, in Spain, had manifested itself in texts by Ramón Gómez de la Serna, J. Calvo Alfaro or Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, among others. From the study of how an actress in becomes an ideal being for the protagonist, the way in which marketing strategies favor her mythification is verified. However, there is also criticism about the commercial control over female bodies. When studying both aspects, the paradox that, in Torres Bodet’s novel, the performer’s rise to the mythical status demystifies the Hollywood industry due to the promotional techniques it uses is confirmed.
