The Female Political Subject in Three Latin American Women Chroniclers: Leila Guerriero, Lina Meruane and Gabriela Wiener.

Sat, May 30, 2:00 to 3:45pm, TBA

Abstract

The present-day Latin American chronicle written by women produces a more complex political subject of the twenty-first century as it strengthens the voice of the female chronicler to narrate, from a questioned affective and corporal "intimacy", the tension and contradictions between "being a woman" and the ways into which the "polis" has mutated. Using the notorious features of "gonzo" journalism but with an ambition to historical memory, these chroniclers prevent the stories of the 21st century that make up the public imagination from becoming reified as a single way of looking at the world.
