Contemporary mexican narrative versus the territorialization of the body: female writers of a cuerpo-territorio

Abstract

This article presents an approach that refocuses the concept of cuerpo-territorio to read contemporary female written narrative in Mexico that respond to the myriad that situates female and feminized bodies as territories, subjected to abuse under our patriarchal-capitalist-colonial system. The analysis focuses on Temporada de huracanes by Fernanda Melchor, La compañía by Verónica Gerber Bicecci y Ya no somos las mismas y aquí sigue la guerra edited by Daniela Rea Gómez, but also explicits the missing elements in the live cartography that these authors produce today.
