La escritura híbrida y la identidad fragmentada en Chilco (2023) de Daniela Catrileo

In recent Latin American literature, there are increasingly more female writers and authors of indigenous origins. Daniela Catrileo (1987), the author chosen as a case study, represents an emblematic example as she constitutes a fundamental contribution to contemporary Mapuche narrative produced by women in her constant search to vindicate the rights of the indigenous group to which she belongs and to revitalize mapudungun as a practice of resistance. In both her narrative and essay work, Catrileo manages to explore the contamination between the indigenous world and the urban periphery, focusing attention on the margins of large cities where the ‘mapurbe’ throbs.
