Produktbeschreibung
The author of this book extends an invitation to question Ecuadorian literary historiography and, implicitly, any literary corpus built with a national project a its starting point. In order to do this, she uses problematic body images that the literary canon has overlooked. Saturated with violence and normalized historical exclusions, these images have an uncomfortable weight that has been conveniently forgotten. The work thus proposes a methodology: the exhumation of those bodies that points to a reading by intuition. It then becomes about imagining so as to recover the remains that have been buried under a set of traditional values, both aesthetic and political which instead of expanding, restrict the possibilities of reading certain literary works beyond the constitutive requirements of a nation. In an interdisciplinary dialogue with image theories and with studies of the body and disability, these pages raise a claim for the political and ethical nature of any exercise in literary criticism.
