Resumen
CANDIA-CACERES, Alexis. “Metastases of Desire” in Andrea Maturana’s Narrative. Lexis [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.2, pp.838-873. Epub 18-Dic-2023. ISSN 0254-9239. http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202302.011.
In this study, we present an analysis of the representation of eroticism and sexual violence in Andrea Marurana’s narrative: (Des)encuentros (des)esperados (1992), El daño (1997) and No decir (2006). By employing a series of resources drawn from literary theory, gender studies, philosophy and psychology, it is proposed that her writing can be interpreted using the notion of “metastasis of desire”, a concept that accounts for both the transformation and dissemination that desire undergoes in her novels and stories, as well the harmful effects of unethical and illegitimate enjoyment.
