This paper seeks to generate an analytical approach to Graciela Huinao's novel Desde el fogón de una casa de putas williche (2010) and Javier Milanca Olivares' volume of short stories Xampurria, somos del lof de los que no tienen lof (2015). The study proposes two convergent inquiries: one is linked to the presence of epew -as a discursive genre specific to the Mapuche oral tradition- in the narrative work ofboth authors; the other deals with the meaning of the notions of xampurria (mestizo) and kawin (party) that these writings propose. The hypothesis is that both the epew, as a discursive genre with a ludic and recreational function, and the notions of xampurria and kawin, are configured as a positionality of resistance and in clear opposition to the conception that a certain wingka (white, non-indigenous) tradition holds of the Mapuche as a sad and dejected subject.
