Description
Summary:This article analyzes, from the social and economic crisis in Venezuela and the unbelief with the alternative political programs in the nineties, three remarkable books of poems in the literary production written by women: El arte de la perdida (1991) by Veronica Jaffe, Olympia (1992) by Manon Kubler and Safari Club (1993) by Laura Cracco. Through the notions of alterity and engagement, these works take over new prototypes of responsibility in dialogue with the old national literature. From this perspective, besides an approximation to innovative kinds of reflections about the Other, these poetics have provided original and transgressive representations of borders, gender, sexuality, historical imagination and collective memory that raise new questions about literary history of Venezuela.
