María Morell – La Pasión de:

María Morell ha construido una voz propia entre la escritura, el guion y la docencia, con una mirada feminista sobre la cultura contemporánea.

María Morell is an Argentine writer, screenwriter, and educator. Her passion for genre narratives and pop culture runs through all of her work—from media columns to feminist writing workshops. Her critical yet accessible voice has made her a leading figure in the fields of communication and culture.

The beginning of a meaningful search

María Morell discovered her passion for words while studying at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. There she realized that communication was not just about informing—it was also about intervening. She began writing for fanzines, reading critical theory, and participating in spaces where people debated how to represent the world around them. Her early pieces combined pop culture, politics, and language analysis through an intentionally uncomfortable lens.

A commitment to writing and teaching

Over time, her passion became her profession. María began writing scripts for audiovisual projects that aimed to break away from traditional stereotypes. She did so without leaving teaching behind, which became another outlet for her creative drive. Teaching helped her reflect on her own ideas and offer others tools to narrate themselves from more authentic and less normative perspectives.

Cultural feminism as creative engine

Feminism is one of the pillars of her work. But she doesn’t treat it as a slogan—it’s a lens through which she observes the world. In her analyses of TV series, films, or young adult novels, there’s always an open-ended question: who are we looking at, and why? María uses these questions as a starting point to rethink plotlines, characters, and messages that often go unnoticed in everyday cultural consumption.

Pop culture without intellectual prejudice

Against those who dismiss mass cultural products, María offers a different perspective. For her, a romantic comedy can be just as valuable as a 19th-century literary classic—if approached with the right critical tools. In outlets such as LatFem, OHLALÁ!, and Revista Anfibia, her texts dismantle what appears obvious. Under her pen, pop culture becomes a space to examine relationships, bodies, and models of desire.

Building community through storytelling

Her relationship with language goes beyond the professional. It’s present in how she engages on social media, in the workshops she leads, and in her connection with readers and students. María writes with honesty and without solemnity. This has created a community that follows her not just for what she says, but for how she says it. Her closeness and commitment shape the unique impact of her work.

Projects that reflect a narrative ethic

Throughout her career, María has contributed to numerous publications. She is co-author of El amor como ficción política (Love as Political Fiction), which explores how romantic narratives shape subjectivities. She also participated in the anthology Malas Mujeres (Bad Women), a collective project that challenges the social roles assigned to women through writing. Every one of her texts reflects a will to unsettle and provoke thought.

An identity that doesn’t compromise

María Morell doesn’t follow fleeting trends or seek easy approval. She maintains a coherent narrative identity, where every piece is driven by a deep desire for transformation. What she writes, teaches, or shares is never neutral. Her style engages discomfort without losing its sensitivity. That honesty has secured her place in the Argentine cultural landscape.

Words that leave a mark

In an era of content overload, María insists on attentive, conscious, and transformative writing. Her passion isn’t a slogan—it’s a daily practice grounded in reading, active listening, and shared experiences. The words she chooses carry weight—not to end conversations, but to open them. Her presence makes a difference wherever something still needs to be said.
