Latin American Women Writers
$17.000
This book traces a genealogy of women's writing within cultural contexts and feminist ideologies up to the end of the 20th century. During the 19th century, faced with a male hegemony that created literary formats, discourses, and imaginaries, the only aesthetic alternative for women writers was imitation, adding margins and questions in a subversive mimicry that denounced woman's subordinate position. This writing strategy gave way, in the 20th century, to reappropriations and the inscription of the body as a platform for subjectification processes and a discourse on sexuality from a female perspective that also questioned the androcentric paradigms of heterosexuality, identity, and knowledge.
