This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Diamela Eltit’s recent novels, highlighting how her experimental narratives engage with Chile’s evolving social and political landscape.
Moving beyond postcolonial and postmodernist readings, the book proposes a new methodological framework that situates Eltit as a central figure in Chilean post-transition-to-democracy literature. Through careful analysis, the study demonstrates how her literary techniques challenge entrenched power structures, giving voice to those marginalized by systemic inequalities. Richly contextualized, the book connects literary innovation with the broader sociopolitical currents shaping contemporary Chile, from the lingering effects of dictatorship-era neoliberal policies to the subtle reawakening of civic engagement.
Balancing rigorous literary scholarship with clear, engaging explanations, Literature and Society in the Chilean Post-Transition will berelevant to students, academics, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of literature, politics, and social change. This work illuminates Eltit’s continuing influence as a writer who bridges aesthetic experimentation with profound social critique.
