Afectos y disidencia sexual en Sur: Victoria Ocampo, Gabriela Mistral y cia.

Abstract

From the reading of a selection of essays published in Sur by Victoria Ocampo and Gabriela Mistral, a first approach is proposed to the affective and literary, feminist and dissident network to which Sur gave place. Although they have tended to pass unnoticed to literary critics, certain affective relationships that were embodied in texts, inaugurated deviations and alliances in a strong heterosexist culture, destabilizing canonical structures of gender and desire and opening possibilities of expressiveness and reflection infrequent in the first decades of the twentieth century.
