Abstract

The article explores the transformation of the voices and representations of three female writers in Chilean literature during the post-dictatorship period: Diamela Eltit, Eugenia Prado, and Nona Fernández, who address various topics through hybrid narratives that combine fiction and nonfiction. The works analyzed reflect the search for poetic justice by challenging hegemonic narratives and fostering a literary space essential for reinterpreting contemporary Chilean history. The article also analyzes various literary movements and theories, such as “narr-action” and the relationship with materialities through the theoretical proposals of George Didi-Huberman's photography and Jane Bennet's “vibrant matter.” The study aims to analyze the works of female writers to recognize the political proposal through “narr-action” and its various forms of expression in image and writing.
