Abstract

In this article, we propose a reading of the poetry of Alfonsina Storni, considering writing/biography as the backbone that guides and regulates a dialogue between her experience and a political, social, and economic scene penetrated by the own dynamics of the patriarchal discourse. It is at this juncture that the author manifests a writing approach that enables the body to generate its own pedagogy aimed at unveiling the necessary tools to, as Alicia Salomone states “with masks or without them,” becoming a female subject “predominantly a critical woman-subject.”

Keywords: pedagogy, body, subject, woman(en), writing
