| description | In the framework of a research that seeks to trace the routes of the appearance of the lesbian identity in Argentine literature this piece of work gives a general overview of the modes of representation of lesbianism and stops at the strategies that can be seen in Silvina Ocampo’s stories at the time of narrating the emergence of the lesbian desire.
Some of the tales of this author frame the stories on the records of the confessional letter or diary. These minor genres are favourable for the game of revelations of secret passions that have women as protagonists.
My intention is to observe how the combination of silences and lack of information make up the secrets of the closet creating an effect of invisibility of this identity. |
