Abstract
Debido a su escritura atroz y temas de lo perverso, María Fernanda Ampuero se ha convertido en una de las voces literarias más importantes de Ecuador y Latinoamérica. Su cuento "Subasta" contenido en Pelea de gallos (2018), sobresale de entre el resto porque en él se configura un universo de violencia masculina y traumas de la infancia que propician la intervención del cuerpo femenino hasta llevarlo al rango del body horror (horror corporal), un acto que trastoca los límites de lo monstruoso, lo repugnante y lo indeseable como última alterativa de emancipación en la esfera del abuso patriarcal.
