Transitando por "los caminos del espejo" de Alejandra Pizarnik, hacia la (re)construcción de nuevas subjetividades femeninas

Abstract

Following Luce Irigaray’s and Julia Kristeva’s theories in the need to refund language as we conceive it now, and in the relevance of developing singular and creative feminine subjectivities, respectively, this essay focuses on the poetic work of Alejandra Pizarnik, a women poet from Buenos Aires, Argentina, born in 1936 and considered as one of the best exponents of lyric poetries and surrealism in her country. This, in the aim of analyzing the possibilities for women to reconstruct their identities and find new ways to become autonomous subjects. In her poem entitled: «The ways of the mirror» (1972), Alejandra Pizarnik transits through a speculated drive, which allow us to follow her path in the recovering of a proper feminine voice.
