El humor en Socorro Girón: Un breve acercamiento en artículos de periódicos y revistas

Abstract

The journalistic chronicle is among the various literary genres cultivated by Socorro Girón. She exercised this task for more than three decades (1950-1980) leaving a voluminous record of about 200 works, published mostly in the local newspapers El Día and El Mundo. This paper analyzes a sample of his chronicles of humorous-sarcastic tone, a line traditionally ascribed to the male gender. For Girón "humorism is always a way of being". Girón's writings are endowed with an excellent manifestation of humor, conjugated and woven with the most serious ideas of what she is talking about; it is nuanced with an attitude of rationality and intellectuality, showing erudition; its double meanings are endowed with a parodic attitude; it is marked by the optimistic gaze; she is aware of the humorous elements that she inserts in academic texts, integrating her opinion into writing. In her journalism Girón is transgressive, pioneering and avant-garde.
