Bodies, gender and violence in the writing of female authors from santiagueñas. a way of saying woman

Abstract

Women's cultural criticism argues that the focus on the objective rationality of economic, political and social processes has shifted to the cultural dimension of regimes of meaning as they communicate and symbolically interpret reality. In particular, it analyses culture as a central place in which the problems faced by women in societies marked by gender inequality and violence are inscribed as one of the forms of expression that patriarchy has favored and naturalized through the subjugation of the female body by that other who, protected by the power granted by its strength, dominates it, makes it invisible, silences it, beats it and/or murders it. The literary production of women writers from Santiago del Estero in the last decade of the 21st century makes its contributions to the studies carried out by the field of women's criticism, in particular, to the literary map of the literatures of Argentina.
