Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze Eduardo Mendicutti’s El palomo cojo (1991) as a novel about the raising of the abject consciousness within the social, moral and cultural canons of the Francoism Spain during the 1950s. El palomo cojo joints three narrative genres related to the self: autobiography novel, memories and Bildungsroman, and uses also descriptive elements and motifs of the gothic novel. The camp sensibility appears as the semantic and ideological space that gathers and resignifies these multiple narrative inscriptions.
