{"product_id":"9781611483284","title":"Passionate Subjects\/Split Subjects in Twentieth-Century Literature in Chile: Brunet, Bombal, and Eltit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book analyzes how Marta Brunet, María Luisa Bombal, and Diamela Eltit develop a counter narrative to the Chilean literary canon. They revisit and defy female narratives within a liberal Catholic modernity by representing the flaws of a patriarchal ideology through sexual and legal contracts. In these aesthetic projects, gender is a form of marginalization embedded in an authoritarian-state morality and law regulated by marriage and the family. In this context, female aggression and unconventional sexuality become a double threat both to masculinity and to the process of modernization. These writers challenge a logocentric linguistic system through discursive strategies that organize a new narrative model, showing that motherhood and womanhood inevitably conflict in the public sphere and rights of citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bucknell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037530669296,"sku":"9781611483284","price":82.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781611483284","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
