    Este artículo propone el análisis de la serie de televisión Little Fires Everywhere a partir de la operacionalización del concepto de “competencia de la rabia” (Chemaly, 2018). Nuestro interés en la serie radica en su representación de la ira femenina. Sostenemos que su abordaje narrativo legitima su expresión y desvela las prácticas y estructuras de su(b)je(tiva)ción a través de los ejes de clase y raza. Para demostrarlo, abordamos la construcción del sujeto enfurecido, lo que la mediatización de la rabia revela y los efectos de esta

    This article examines the TV show Little Fires Everywhere through the operationalisation of the concept of “anger competence” (Chemaly, 2018). The interest in the series lies in its representation of female rage. We contend that its narrative approach both legitimizes its expression and unravels the structures and practices of subject(ificat)ion through the axis of class and race. To prove it, we tackle the construction of the enraged subject, what the mediatization unfolds and its effects
