Abstract

BARRAZA PIZARRO, Lilian. Femenine ErotiCs in (des) encuentros (des)Esperados [Desperate Disencounters] By Andrea Maturana. La Palabra [online]. 2013, n.23, pp.63-76. ISSN 0121-8530.

Erotic literature in Chile by female authorship emerged quietly in the decade of the 1990s with the work (Des) encuentros (des) esperados [Desperate (Dis) Encounters] by the Chilean author Andrea Maturana. This article aims at demonstrating that the sexual prototype so far assigned to women is reversed in this literary work. This study intends to examine the behaviour of the female characters in the erotic sphere and identify their worldview through these actions. It also analyses their narrative voices and illustrates the social / historical context of the decade, which has great influence in the creation of the characters, due to the changes manifested in the Transition.

Keywords : erotic literature; Chile; sexual prototype; transition.
