Front cover of first edition of
Cola de lagartija (1983) by Luisa Valenzuela
It is possible to study gender-related issues (both femininities and masculinities) under a wide range of topics. More specifically, topics which encourage the study of works by women, either on their own or in comparison with men's work, are: Escritura femenina, Popular Culture, La novela de la dictadura, and Queer Textualities. There are also individual author/artist questions (Section B) on the work of Cristina Peri Rossi, Luisa Valenzuela, Laura Restrepo, Diamela Eltit and Doris Salcedo. This page brings together some resources and links for gender-related topics for SP13.
