Abstract

The aim of this research is to reflect on some aspects that characterize Silvina Oc-ampo's writing, aspects that seem to function as Ocampo's strategies to legitimize her creative project before the canon, although not through the acceptance of parameters that the canon imposes but through building new ones that allow approaching the expression proper of the feminine subject, the woman. The fragmentary, the disruptive, the silence, the enigma are elements that come into play in her writing and from which not only does she configure characters that embody lines of flight in the face of any imposition (imposture) of identities, but also herself in her peculiar condition as a writer. Thus, the limits between fiction and reality become blurred and the enigma as a strategy seems to reveal itself as authenticity.
