Cuerpos en marcha, insumisos y resistentes

Sumar de Diamela Eltit

Abstract

Sumar tells the story of a great and nomadic march, led by an army of women, testimonies of their and all times. As in the author’s last six novels, the first-person monologue of female and marginal figures dominates the scene and constructs a powerful zone of dissidence, an alternative archive of what does not fit into the rigid representations of the present. Eltit creates an imaginative and proactive space where the memory of the past, the values of militancy, the desire for a better world, the feelings of community and solidarity come true and project themselves into the future. This rebellious zone of dicibility and livability, coincides with the body and the writing: the exhibition of wandering bodies and corpora, which transmigrate from one territory to another. And the narr-action, enabling the act of narration as the ultimate space of salvation.
