Abstract

This reading of Patriagonia (2014), a collection of poems written by the Huichille-Chilean poet, Ivonne Coñuecar, delves into the aesthetics of three of her texts gathered in this edition: Catabática (2011), Adiabática (2009) and Anabática (unpublished until 2014) from a feminist and queer, intersectional and decolonial perspective. We explore the weavings of non-binary relationships of identity, territory and nation-state, as a series of geodesic and erotic, geopoetic and political revolts. The poetic speaker accounts for sparks and disruptive memory shifts, amidst multiple assemblages of power that encompass the body, the heteropatriarchal family and the capital centrality of the neoliberal state.
