The writers in the literature manuals are configured as "Absences". When Marina Zancan points out that the literary tradition is the “history of a masculine thought, not only because of the absence of female writers, but also because that tradition has codified the feminine, through themes, styles and scale of values”, she seems to answer implicitly to the question “Who owns the canon? and who does the canon serve?The writers' texts, which have always been considered minor, contradict a hierarchical logic that the texts collected in this volume put into discussion: the binary logic that separates masculine / feminine, art / no art, canonical / non-canonical discourses, culture / nature. If women writers are condemned to the margins of culture, that space also turns into contestation, subversion, experimentation and creativity.
