Literatura y crisis: escribir la dignidad

Main Article Content

Abstract

This essay asks the question of writing and the modes of narrating the crisis produced by the social outbreak in Chile. It aims at thinking possible languages for several aesthetic productions: texts, bodies, individual and collective signs that have enabled to propose meanings. The essay engages with languages written during or after the social outbreak; in a traditional genre or in an unconventional writing proposal; either on paper or using other mediums; with recognized authorship or in the anonymity of the streets and the popular voice. These languages show that the unknown, the still unsaid, the still without history are named in the imaginary power of diverse writings. Such diversity produces an enrichment of the literary in the way it relates to history.
