No. 2 (2005): Estudios de Género: Sujetos políticos y literarios

Literature not only represents the cultural identity of the community where it emerges as institutionally accepted and legitimized artistic writing as such, but it also produces identity. Much of feminist literary criticism points to the impossibility of separating the imagination of the self from its social placement. Discrimination against women occurs individually and collectively, deliberately and unconsciously, as it is woven into customs and tradition. Women face situations that do not prevent them from participating fully in the societies where they live. This issue investigates the relationships between literary subjects (female characters and authors) and their political implications that often manifested themselves in activism in social-cultural movements and, other times, in the struggle or claim for personal freedom or rights.
