    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; Katherine Anne Porter; Carson McCullers; Simone de Beauvoir; Maurice Merleau-Ponty; “Miranda stories”; “The Princess”; The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter; The Member of the Wedding; The Ballad of the Sad Café; female body-subject; subjectivity; reciprocal relationship; “being-in-the-world”; “becoming”; habituality; pathology; mimicry; performance; the abject; Engelska; English language; Engelska språket; English; Engelska;

    Abstract : This study investigates how the Southern writers Katherine Anne Porter and Carson McCullers negotiate the process of becoming a woman in their texts and expose and ridicule the artificiality of that category. Focusing on a selection of Porter’s “Miranda stories” (published between 1935 and 1941) and “The Princess” (1993) and McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), The Member of the Wedding (1946), and The Ballad of the Sad Café (1943), I argue that both writers voice their protest against patriarchal society that forecloses women’s assumption of subjectivity.
