Summary

Victoria and Silvina Ocampo are two writers of undeniable importance for the Argentine literary tradition. Even more when read through a feminist lens. Recognizing that there’s a lot of critical material written about them, this chapter proposes a different approach. Through the intersection between archive, fiction, and domestic spaces, it addresses the relationship between the sisters, their works, and their day-to-day environment. According to gender studies, houses, family relationships, and friendships (together with the forms of obedience, love, and conflict they imply) offer an opportunity to study the construction of a system of individual, sexual, and generational identities that will influence the Ocampos’ works as well as their ways of intervening in culture, interrupting and deviating traditions and standards, voices, and writings.
