LIBRO, María Fernanda. Representations of the Body as a Recipient of (Neo)Colonial Violence in Contemporary Mapuche Poetry. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp.23-55. ISSN 0123-5931.  https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v22n2.86084.

Contemporary Mapuche poetry depicts multiple processes undergone by this people: from the colonizing attacks to the forced displacement and reterritorialization in the urban peripheries. In this article, I am interested in dealing with the representations of the body proposed by these poetics, specifically in the works of four authors: Jaime Huenún, Adriana Paredes Pinda, David Aniñir, and Liliana Ancalao. At first, I analyze the poetic procedures through which, both Huenún and Paredes Pinda, represent the indigenous body as a recipient of the colonizing violence, sustained until today. In second instance, I approach the poetics of Aniñir, Ancalao, and Huenún, observing the representations of reduced bodies, condemned to life precarization from the racial division of labor. The point of view that guides this reading is that the body is represented as a territory of outrage and dominion in a metonymic operation between the earth and the body.
