The book brings together comparative analyses of the works of several Latin American female authors born between 1970 and 1990, in which an attempt is made to reorder and rethink texts, even marginal ones, relating to the construction of subjectivities and community, as well as discussions of heteronormativity and intersectionality. The meeting, in which Laura Scarabelli and Tania Pleitez Vela (UniMi) will speak, will be presented by Patrizia Spinato (CNR-ISMed).

THE SPEAKER. Lorena Amaro Castro is an associate professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. She contributes to the literary criticism magazine Palabra Pública and is the author, among others, of the volumes Recolectoras. Conversaciones con diez narradoras latinoamericanas contemporáneas (2023), El espejo del gólem. De la biografía a la fábula biográfica hispanoamericana (2022), La pose autobiográfica. Ensayos sobre narrativa chilena (2018) y Vida y escritura. Teoría y práctica de la autobiografía (2009).
