The construction of the female authors: self-configuration and genealogy in the essays of Diana Bellessi
Abstract
Diana Bellessi's essay production, as well as her translation work, fosters the creation of a genealogy for Argentine poetry written by women, at the center of a tradition in which she inscribes herself as a poet. Her essays constitute critical interventions that propose other ways of conceiving literary history, in a reading movement that looks towards the past, in search of the predecessors, towards the present, in listening to the little voice of the poem, and towards the future, in dialogue with the poets and readers that make up her “lineage and family” (La pequeña 105).
