Fragmentos de silentes bulliciosas Nancy Cárdenas y Violeta Barrientos

In this article, some inkling of normativity linked to the gender division is problematized from a feminist theoretical framework. The qualitative approach crosses History and Greek mythology to recount a contemporary situation through a comparative analysis of two Latin American poems written in the 1990s. The Mexican poetess Nancy Cárdenas and The Peruvian poetess Violeta Barrientos explore and construct a feminine lyrical subject that breaks with the model of femininity and canonic love. The proposal presented contributes to the historiography of lesbian poetry written by women in the twentieth century and offers elements of stylistic analysis. Cárdenas refers to a French woman writer whose literary work was controversial. Barrientos refers to one of the emblematic myths of female monstrosity. Their verses reveal the erotic-affective relation between women and show the difficulties and resolutions to break into a way of life as well as having sexual practices that deviate from the socially accepted. The analysis indicates experience as a process in the formation of subjectivity because they show female subjects that propose and carry out actions instead of being inert or only receptive subjects.
El artículo presenta dos poemas latinoamericanos escritos en la década del noventa. Nancy Cárdenas, y Violeta Barrientos exploran y construyen un sujeto lírico femenino que rompe con el modelo de feminidad y el amor canónico. Cárdenas alude a una escritora francesa cuya obra fue controvertida. Barrientos se remite a uno de los mitos emblemáticos de monstruosidad femenina. En sus versos dejan ver la relación erótico-afectiva entre mujeres y dan cuenta de las dificultades y resoluciones al incursionar en una forma de vida y prácticas sexuales que se alejan de lo aceptado socialmente. El análisis denota la experiencia como un proceso en la conformación de la subjetividad ya que presentan sujetos femeninos que proponen y llevan a cabo acciones en vez de ser sujetos inertes o solo receptivos.
