Kümedungun: Trajetórias de vida e a escrita de si de mulheres poetas Mapuche.

Abstract

The present article intends to submit the life trajectory of three indigenous Mapuche women writers that have highlighted on Chilean literary scene last decades: Maribel Mora Curriao, Graciela Huinao and Rayen Kvyeh. From a dialogue between their life trajectory and literary work, we ask how the mapuche women writers create their subjectivity process? From their life narratives, we consider that, through literary creation, they express ways of life against imposed identities, that are social, racial, ethnical and about gender. Our objective is to reflect about the construction of their subjectivity through the craft of writing about herself. We believe in the importance of analyses aimed to the experiences and trajectories about mapuche women, because they can contribute with the deconstruction of colonial, racist and sexist imaginary. The narrators, women writers and poets have been recorded the struggle to mapuche artistic expressions be recognized as literature, which excluding dynamics are seated on the roots of European colonization that appreciate the written tradition and Spanish as official language, and on the National States formation that excluded the indigenous people’s narratives.
