DISSEMINATED GEOGRAPHIES: ON PERFORMATIVE AESTHETICS IN CONTEMPORARY COLOMBIAN WOMEN’S WRITING

Abstract

This article offers a critical reading of contemporary Colombian women’s writing from a performative aesthetic and an anthropogeographical perspective. Through the analysis of La perra by Pilar Quintana, El mar by Margarita García Robayo, Plaga by Juliana Javierre, and El asedio animal by Vanessa Londoño, it examines the relationships between body, territory, violence, and memory in contexts of exclusion, displacement, and precarity. These narratives destabilize national imaginaries and hegemonic discourses through dislocated geographies and liminal subjectivities. The notion of post-Colombian sensitivity enables an understanding of these works as political gestures of rupture that challenge and engage the contemporary reader.
