Nineteenth-century women writers and the nation
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-18)
This chapter provides an account of the robust emergence of women writers in nineteenth-century Latin America and of the narratives they produced, focusing on the complex relationship between national and gender ideology, the literary field and the consolidation of the new republics, especially in the second half of the century. Rather than focusing on aestheticist frameworks for the myriad novels, novellas, and short stories; poems, essays, and plays; and diaries, letters, and press articles produced by them, it examines their interaction with the dominant male discourse and the strategies that women of letters developed in order to move beyond the age-old patriarchal mandate of “not saying what they knew, or saying that they didn’t know, or saying the opposite of what they knew” (Ludmer 48).1 If intellectuals of the so-called national period had an impossibly idealized concept of the literary woman, later critics’ and writers’ respect for them, from modernistas and throughout the twentieth century, was negligible. This rich and diverse corpus of writing published in the periodical press and in book form, from Chile to Mexico, had all but disappeared from literary memory and from the canon until it was rediscovered more than a century later by feminist activists in Latin American, (USA) North American, and European academia from the late 1990s and beyond.

A poet of lost causes
(2023-11-02)
This chapter studies Vallejo’s last poems in which he set out to celebrate a group of subjects who defended the “communist idea” to the last consequences. In fact, the subject of Vallejo’s poetry ends up being, above all, a subject of the will. Although his verses always set out to represent the fragile condition of subjectivity, and although they never shy away from recognizing how the subject cowers before the event, his poetry also confirms that there are latent political possibilities in humanity, forces that invite us to overcome the limits of our social determinations.

A poet of the “Part With No Part”
(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2023-11-02)
Vallejo’s poetry always felt committed to the option of politicizing human pain, that is, naming its causes and representing the effects that pain (suffering, exploitation, evil) causes in those who have been placed as the remnants of the social system. This chapter explores a poetics in which the representation of marginality becomes increasingly prominent. In Vallejo’s poetry, art names the excluded rest in order to try to produce a social change. Due to his religious formation and his Marxist readings, Vallejo began to think (and feel) that the world could be reconstituted from the place of the excluded.
