description	This article is part of the classic and contemporary approaches to the sociology of the senses, as well as the interest in the relation between the city and smells. Research on odor has gone to various literary references ((Howes, Classen y Synnott, 1994, p. 4; Synnott, 2003, p. 446; Drobnick, 2006; Porteous, 2006; Waskul, Vannini y Wilson, 2009; Solander, 2010; Verbeek y Campen, 2013; Low, 2013, p. 292; Rindisbacher, 2015; Jaquet; 2016, p. 168) as significant references that allow us to enunciate some problematizations associated with socio-historical and cultural research on odors. The reference to the oeuvre of male writers is remarkable, while the allusion to female writers is underrepresented. The objective of this article is to present how the smells in the city are represented (Lahire, 2006; Becker, 2015) by two contemporary Mexican writers: Guadalupe Nettel (1973) and Ana Clavel (1961). Specifically, I am interested in showing how specific meanings attributed to unpleasant olfactory experiences are narrated in the city. The intention is to make visible other voices with a heuristic performance for the sociological investigation of odors, gender, and their relationship with human and non-human entities in large cities.

Este trabajo se inscribe en el marco de los planteamientos clásicos y contemporáneos de la sociología de los sentidos, así como el interés por la relación entre la ciudad y los olores. Las investigaciones sobre el olor han acudido a diversas referencias literarias (Howes, Classen y Synnott, 1994, p. 4; Synnott, 2003, p. 446; Drobnick, 2006; Porteous, 2006; Waskul, Vannini y Wilson, 2009; Solander, 2010; Verbeek y Campen, 2013; Low, 2013, p. 292; Rindisbacher, 2015; Jaquet; 2016, p. 168) como referentes significativos que permiten enunciar algunas problematizaciones asociadas a la investigación sociohistórica y cultural sobre los olores. Es notable la referencia a la obra de escritores varones, mientras que la alusión a escritoras está subrepresentada. El objetivo de este artículo es plantear cómo se representan (Lahire, 2006; Becker, 2015) los olores de la ciudad, en dos escritoras contemporáneas mexicanas: Guadalupe Nettel (1973) y Ana Clavel (1961). Específicamente, me interesa mostrar cómo se narran ciertos significados atribuidos a experiencias olfativas desagradables en la ciudad, desde dos narrativas que recurren constantemente a las diferencias genéricas. La intención es visibilizar otras voces con rendimiento heurístico para la investigación sociológica de los olores, el género y su relación con entidades humanas y no humanas en las grandes urbes. 2020-05-13 2024-10-10T02:30:33Z 2024-10-10T02:30:33Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/173 10.54104/nodo.v14n28.173 https://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/10631 spa https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/173/141 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf UNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑO REVISTA NODO; Vol. 14 Núm. 28 (2020); 8 - 24 2346-092X 1909-3888 10.54104/nodo.v14n28
