El artículo estudia la novela El libro de Eva (2020) de la escritora mexicana Carmen Boullosa. El objetivo es analizar la reelaboración que realiza esta autora del mito bíblico de la Creación, narrado en el Libro del Génesis. Sostenemos que, en dicha reescritura, que en sí es una contraescritura, se presenta una perspectiva feminista, que cuestiona el manifiesto androcentrismo de la versión canónica, en la que se acusa a la mujer no solo de ser la responsable del inicio de las penurias humanas, sino la portadora del mal. Asimismo, el artículo pretende demostrar que El libro de Eva desarrolla una postura ecofeminista, ya que destaca el papel primordial que ha desempeñado la mujer en la historia y el nexo que tiene con la naturaleza, con la cual comparte la capacidad de dar vida. En esta línea, el libro de Boullosa pone énfasis en el maltrato y abuso que han sufrido los animales, quienes, igual que las mujeres, son víctimas del orden patriarcal. En ese sentido, el especismo es considerado no solo como una tendencia antropocéntrica sino androcéntrica. En la novela se sugiere que el origen de muchos de los conflictos del mundo radica en que los seres humanos, especialmente los hombres, han olvidado que forman parte de la naturaleza, lo que ha generado el abuso y la explotación del resto de seres que pueblan el planeta. De este modo, El libro de Eva aborda el pasado mítico con la intención de proponer una respuesta efectiva a los problemas ecoambientales que enfrenta la sociedad contemporánea. El estudio se realiza principalmente en diálogo con el concepto de contraescritura, los principios del ecofeminismo (Alicia Puleo) y el especismo (Gloria Abdallah). También se recurre a algunos de los aportes de Mijail Bajtin, Rosi Braidotti, Jean-Luc Nancy, Martha Nussbaum y Jacques Derrida, entre otros.
The article examines the novel El libro de Eva (2020) by the Mexican writer Carmen Boullosa. The aim is to analyze this author’s reworking of the biblical myth of Creation, narrated in the Book of Genesis. We maintain that in this rewriting, which in itself is a counterwriting, a feminist perspective is presented, which questions the manifest androcentrism of the canonical version, in which women are accused not only of being responsible for the beginning of human hardships, but as a carrier of evil. Likewise, the article aims to demonstrate that El libro de Eva develops an ecofeminist position, since it highlights the primary role that women have played in history and the link they have with nature, with which they share the ability to give life. Along these lines, Boullosa’s book emphasizes the mistreatment and abuse suffered by animals, who, like women, are victims of the patriarchal order. In that sense, speciesism is considered not only an anthropocentric tendency but also an androcentric one. The novel suggests that the origin of many of the world’s conflicts lies in the fact that human beings, especially men, have forgotten that they are part of nature, which has generated the abuse and exploitation of the rest of the beings that populate the planet. In this way, The Book of Eve addresses the mythical past with the intention of proposing an effective response to the eco-environmental problems facing contemporary society. The study is carried out mainly in dialogue with the concept of counterwriting, the principles of ecofeminism (Alicia Puleo) and speciesism (Gloria Abdallah). It also uses some of the contributions of Mijail Bakhtin, Rosi Braidotti, Jean-Luc Nancy, Martha Nussbaum and Jacques Derrida, among others
