This essay analyzes the symbolic role of weaving in Pedro Lemebel’s Tengo miedo torero (2001) as a form of semiotic resistance against Chile’s patriarchal and authoritarian order. Through the character of La Loca del Frente—a travesti woman—the paper explores how embroidery reimagines national identity, gender roles, and political agency. Referencing myth and feminist traditions, the essay argues that textile creation forms an implicit alliance between feminist and LGBT+ resistance against patriarchal hegemony.
