Abstract:A genre within the genre of Mexican telenovelas is the rurally set production that establishes a feudal-like context for characters whose attitudes and behaviors are anachronistic and might best be described as a rejection of modernity. One aspect of this rejection is seen in the treatment of women who do not conform to traditional, that is, Marianist, standards of womanhood. The "wild woman" of these telenovelas initially pushes the boundaries of gender roles, but before the final chapter, romantic love and motherhood tame her. Because telenovelas have been shown to have a didactic effect on the viewing audience, the investigation at hand not only analyzes the representation of these women and their eventual taming but also considers the potential impact of such portrayals on the viewing audience. The telenovelas that I point to in this study aired on Mexico's national channel, Televisa, and later on Univisión: Apuesta por un amor (Gambling on Love) (2004–2005), Fuego en la sangre (Burning for Revenge) (2008), Soy tu dueña (A Woman of Steel) (2010), and La que no podía amar (The One Who Couldn't Love) (2011–2012).

驯服二十一世纪的墨西哥电视小说中的野性女人

摘要：墨西哥电视小说中的一种类型是在农村生产的产品，它为那些态度和行为不合时宜的人物建立了封建式的语境，最好将其描述为对现代性的拒绝。这种排斥的一方面体现在对待不符合传统（即玛丽安主义）女性标准的女性的待遇上。这些电视小说中的“野性女人”最初突破了性别角色的界限，但在最后一章之前，浪漫的爱情和母性驯服了她。由于电视小说已显示出对观看观众有一定的教学效果，因此手头的调查不仅分析了这些女性的形象及其最终的驯服，而且还考虑了这种刻画对观看观众的潜在影响。
