| Sumario: | This article is intended to bring into question the so-called \feminine correspondence" in the Mari Royal Archives (Reign of Zimri-Lim of Mari, 2nd Millennium B.C.E.) by using a tool provided by discourse analysis studies and from a gender perspective. The documentary corpus, due to its own features, shows the palace sphere and the configuration of the feminine world in all its complexity, appearing as a signi_cant space in the construction of gender identities in that society. That is to say, in a limited universe, it is true, but practically the only one that the sources allow us to access and one in which to recognize the confusion / co-fusion of the political- state and personal matters, typical of ancient societies. The analysis develops from a metaphor by Lelia Area, a specialist in discourse analysis. The autor states that there are diferent levels of feminine participation which can be analyzed by considering the configuration of the discursive space which, in our development, has the palace as its core: the inside of the inside, the outside of the inside and the inside of the outside. We propose to order this universo for its better comprehension by means of an explicative model which makes it posible to ponder the constitution of a field of power, considering that the feminine correspondence of that time is the closest evidence to a discursive practice we can have access to. |
