Description
Summary:This article investigates writing practices produced in what we call the "meeting zone" between Mapuche literature and contemporary Chilean and Argentine literatures. To this end, we work with a corpus of texts that distinguishes, and at the same time puts in dialogue, two aspects: writers from the capitals of both countries (María Moreno, Dani Zelko and Galo Ghigliotto); and Mapuche writers (Liliana Ancalao and Jaime Huenún). The analysis shows processes of transformation in the writing practice of the two aspects that converge in the disarmament of the forms of representation of the indigenous, impregnated with violence. In this way, the strategy of de-collection and listening are approached as mechanisms that nourish, from the capital writings, the re-imagined encounter with the Mapuche culture; at the same time that the indigenous writings reconstruct, from the remains of an interdicted language and the outraged bodies, a counter-narrative of their own history, in which the Nation is the necessary other of the story. An alternative, critical and innovative writing is produced here, both for the Mapuche cultural sphere and for the metropolitan one.
