Resumen
BIANCHI, Paula Daniela. Fierce women: representations of violence in Lucía Guerra's Muñeca brava. Nómadas [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.153-163. ISSN 0121-7550.
The goal of this paper is to explore some representations of prostitutes' dead bodies that correlate with various articulations -discursive, sexual, and political- in Lucía Guerra´s novel Muñeca brava (1993). To tackle the analysis a textual cartography is devised, linked to different production ways that run through the symbolic scenes with notions of funeral rites and "uses" of these bodies linked to different representations of violence. The prostitutes' body gives new meaning to the street as a place of political struggle, rendered invisible by the Chilean dictatorship.
