Abstract

Within the diversity of the Yucatan’s literary discourse, there is a mestizo discursive formation characterized for
represent marginal characters, which rebel against what society sets them as patterns of behavior; this literature
recreates how unjust social relations are and shows new ways of being in this social context, a context that
sometimes has no name but with enough connotations so that readers may recognize that universal space who
pass as fiction can be Yucatán.
Our study object is the plaquette "Ya no somos héroes" by Sergio Salazar Vadillo. In this paper we explore how
it is recreated social discrimination in which elements as gender, ethnicity, social class, ideological and sexual
preference are present. The approach will be from literary sociology, narratology and reception theory.
