Abstract
La presente investigación realiza un recorrido teórico por el concepto de
“escritura femenina”, interrogando de este modo la relación entre escritura y la
categoría de sexo/género, tal como ha sido abordada por la crítica literaria feminista.
Desde ahí, se pone en evidencia cómo la escritura permite ejercitar la facultad
de nombrar y poner en palabras la propia experiencia, en un acto de poder y de
reconocimiento que influye performativamente en las realidades de las que da cuenta,
permeando o subvirtiendo los lugares hegemónicos de subordinación atribuidos a la
feminidad.
De este modo, se reconoce la literatura de mujeres, como campo pertinente
para abordar la situación de éstas como una situación de conflicto y ambivalencia
discursiva, tensionada constantemente entre el discurso hegemónico masculino
colonizador, que las deja en situación de subordinación; y el discurso de mujer, que
las deja en situación de exilio, al expresar el conflicto entre lo propio y lo ajeno.
Por otro lado, la investigación enfatiza el riesgo de llevar la noción de femenino
a una exaltación utópica que la pretenda corpus cerrado, que develaría la dificultad
de las mismas mujeres para aceptar su heterogeneidad y la conflictualidad inherente
a cualquier grupo, más aun si se trata de una multiplicidad de sujetos dispersas en
entornos culturales diversos y con diferentes participaciones en el poder.
This research is a theoretical analysis of the path from concept of “feminine writing”, thus looking at the associations between writing and the category of sex/gender, as has been approached by feminist literary criticism. From there, it has proven how writing is used to exercise the ability to nameone’s own experiences and put them into words, in an act of power and of recognition that performatively influences the realities it exposes, permeating or subverting hegemonic spaces of subordination attributed to femininity. Therefore, women’s literature is recognised as a pertinent field to study women’s situation as a situation of conflict and discursive ambivalence, constantly pulling between the colonising male hegemonic discourse, which leaves women in a position of subordination, and the discourse of women, which leaves them in a situation of exile when they express the conflict between what is their own and the other. The research also underlines the risk of taking the notion of feminine to a utopic elation which claims it closed corpus, and which reveals the difficulty women have in accepting their heterogeneity and the conflict inherent in any group, particularly in the case of several different subjects in diverse cultural settings with different participations in power.
