POLÍTICAS DA ESCRITURA FEMININA EM DIAMELA ELTIT

Abstract

THIS ARTICLE INTENDS TO OBSERVE HOW CERTAIN WORKS PRODUCED BY LATIN AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS ARTICULATE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EXPERIENCES IN FICTIONAL TEXTS. THE BOOK, NEVER THE FIRE NEVER, BY DIAMELA ELTIT, ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 2007, AND TRANSLATED INTO PORTUGUESE IN 2017, IS AN IMPORTANT EXAMPLE FOR THE CONFIGURATION OF A FEMALE WRITING THAT ASSOCIATES MILITANT EXPERIENCE AND SUBVERSIVE LITERARY PRACTICE. THE ANALYSIS EXERCISE REVEALS HOW ELTIT'S WORK CONSTITUTES A NARRATIVE OF VIOLENCE AND SUFFERING EXPERIENCED IN THE DICTATORSHIP THAT MATERIALIZES WITHIN THE LIMITS OF A WOMAN'S LANGUAGE AND BODY HORIZON.
