Challenges to the archive. The documentary turn in the work of contemporary hispanic-american women writers
Abstract
Women's literature in Latin America, from the 1980s to the present, has developed numerous strategies to challenge the classical notion of the archive, where the use and appropriation of heterogeneous non-fictional materials is presented as a praxis that provides it with tools of inquiry. . Some authors, close to the testimonial narrative, dialogue with archives and public materials, others rethink the idea of authorship from the concept of expropriation, others are located within the framework of the writings of the self and resort to private and family documents.
The works that come together in this dossier investigate the use of these plural materials and their possibilities, between the private and the public, which allow the I (or we) to be introduced into History, questioning it, filling in its gaps and silences.
