LO AUTOBIOGRÁFICO COMO ESTRATEGIA DE FRONTERA: LA EXPLOSIÓN POLÍTICA DE LO PERSONAL EN LA OBRA DE SOPHIE CALLE Y LILY HOANG

Abstract

The present text proposes as a hypothesis that autobiographical creation is a political strategy of a borderland nature, whose potency lies in the most complex points of contemporary thought, overflowing the disciplinary and genre limits established in both art and literature. By means of the different elements present in the work of the French artist Sophie Calle, and in the work A Bestiary by the American writer Lily Hoang (2021), this article aims to explore the paradoxical co-presence of the strange and the familiar in the experience of the world, in order to delve into the conceptualization of feminism as a daily stance and an unstable form of thought, in constant tension, and thirdly, to address pain, loss, and the forms of symbolization of mourning. Finally, it is concluded that disciplinary genres are diluted by the appearance of indeterminate, contaminated languages that seem to circumvent classifications and limits by acting and enunciating from the frontier, blurring the established hierarchies of representation.
