Abstract

MINELLI, María Alejandra. Chiselled by their estro: Women's Literary Representations at the End of the Nineteenth Century. Aljaba [online]. 2008, vol.12, pp.71-83. ISSN 1669-5704.

Taking into account that the last period of a century can be thought as a time of change and crisis, in this paper, I intend to examine some texts of two Argentinean writers from the Modernist Movement, which took place at the end of the Nineteenth Century in Latin America, Leopoldo Lugones and Atilio Chiappori. Feminist theories and research on the Modernist Movement itself have provided the basis for this article that focuses on gender representations and the construction of female subjectivity in Las montañas del oro, by Leopoldo Lugones, and on some stories from Bordeland and La eterna angustia by Atilio Chiáppori.

Keywords : Gender; Latin American Modernism; Women's representations.
