| Sumario: | In the context of a discussion on the relations between gender, travel and writing, Yanna Hadatty suggests that for contemporary Latin American women authors (born between the 1960s and 1970s), the journey undertaken for personal exploration within a semi-autobiographical framework appears as a central theme. Based on a review of a number of novels published inthe course of this century, the author points out that in the 21st century, the representation of the female body, travelling and in disparity, appears as a constant in women’s writing. Hadatty devotes particular attention to the reading of Volverse Palestina (2013), a travel chronicle by Chilean Lina Meruane, and Body Time (2003), by Ecuadorian Gabriela Alemán, read as a feminist “campus novel”. |
