Summary
In the history of Latin American women's literature, this chapter intends to explore two major Argentinean poets and poetic prose writers who can be labeled as perverse. The Argentine writers, Alejandra Pizarnik and Susana Thenon, have opened up new paths to elaborate new readings/understandings of female sexuality. Pizarnik and Thenon set themselves up as writers that, in order to explode the lyrical monologism, they had to find a yet unmade/unsung music. A reading of their texts shows that the struggle for subjectivity constitutes itself, then, as a right to difference and a right to variation, to metamorphosis. Poems, images, and ballet form a constellation of passions and overlapping shifts: bodies that dance; leaping black signs that are somewhat clownish/farcical that mimic a choreographed movement in the space of the blank page. Tiny narratives or poems or poetic prose that in truth disregards all structuring categorization, all definition, all de-marcation.
