Zusammenfassung

The novel Pepita Jiménez proposes a refutation of the Catholic model of exemplary masculinity and its replacement with a bourgeois model that restores gender polarization and embodies an authority figure capable of guaranteeing social order. By narrating the evolution of the protagonist and his abandonment of priesthood as a process of masculinization, Valera aligns with contemporary anti-clerical criticism of the sexual ambiguity of clerical masculinity. In this article I examine four characteristics of this bourgeois masculinity that show its close relationship with issues of hierarchy and authority, and with traditional values of Mediterranean culture: agoraphilia, male homosocial hierarchy, concealment of subjectivity and use of violence. To this end, I propose a contrastive analysis of the different modes of performance enforced by both models of masculinity. This approach reveals the theatrical and normative nature of masculine identities, and their constitution through the staging of coded patterns of behavior.
