Addresses the masochist discursivity of La Regenta (1884-1885) by Leopoldo Alas Clarin as a subversive strategy of dominance and submission through which the foundations of liberal thinking on education, agency, and freedom of the modern subject are refuted. This book offers a pluralist approach, where cultural, clinical-historical, and literary perspectives are essential.
