From a reading based on the postulates of feminist fairy tale rewrites, I analysed the novel GOØ y el amor (2012) by Claudia Apablaza, considering it a revisionist writing of the traditional tale of the Sleeping Beauty, in which the use of the intertext is parodied and desacralized, not only to achieve the elimination of gender stereotypes, or claim woman’s vindication, but rather to emphasize the internal chaos and delirium of the subjects when certain imaginaries are disarticulated. Thus, it is postulated that the ideological axis of the novel is in the symbolic act of “crossing-out”, in their condition of allowing visibility of what wanted to be deleted, in other words, how in the attempt of transgression, gender constructions and disciplined subjectivities are still present.
