Sexual difference and body in the women’s writing. Plots for a disarticulator critique from the border

Authors

  • Rodrigo Baeza Universidad de Valparaíso

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the sexual difference and the problem that means to the critical feminist literature addressing the question of the body and its possibility of sublimation in the writing. For the purposes of the analysis, we discuss the theories proposed by Nelly Richard about sex in writing and the theories about the effects of discourse on body and sex proposed by Judith Butler. Next, we explain the disarticulating characteristic of the patriarchal discourse that has the writing produced from a marginalized body. Finally, it will be proposed that the writing of the border has intrinsically the possibility of demystifying the identity of the subjects, thus revealing the fictional mechanisms of sexual normalization.
