Chronicles of the self (woman). Polyamory, motherhood and female representation in two texts of Llamada Perdida by Gabriela Wiener
Abstract
This article analyzes two chronicles of the book “Llamada perdida” by Gabriela Wiener: “Tres” and “Acerca de lo madre”. Our objective is to show that in these texts, from the style of narrative journalism, a series of reflections that concern women are presented, regarding issues such as the exercise of a sexuality that transcends monogamy, the questioning of the institution of motherhood, the need for female self-representation in cultural stories. In this line of interpretation, these chronicles of Llamada perdida not only talk about what happens to a woman in particular, but their significance is extrapolated to other women who are experiencing similarly complex situations.
