Marked in many ways by uncertainty, the most interesting narratives of the early twenty-first century in Southern Latin America show signs of an irregular though constant rebelliousness, mostly embodied by women and transvestites. However, they also take into account the failures of the previous era and even suggest new representations for violence. Undoubtedly these narratives therefore outline series that connect on political levels that have remained apparently separated. These aesthetic experiences – that surface together with those feminist movements that have grown stronger in Latin America in the last years – contest genealogies, traditions, and families by inverting them or even creating new ones; by presenting other imaginations, unexpected bonds embodied by heterogeneous and thus dangerous contacts. Aware of time lapses, feminism interrupts any lineal narrative, and by reviewing the past, it recreates the political-aesthetic scenes and figures of the present, while gauging the measure of displacements and resistances. In this framework of political-aesthetic renewal that infuses the new century, we focus on certain literary scenes that bring out the fact that the textual and sexual archive of literary tradition and culture has been turned on its head. The expansion and problematization of literature from a female standpoint becomes an unprecedented cultural phenomenon that makes visible other forms of affects and bodies.
