Artesana De Sí Misma: Gabriela Mistral, Una Intelectual En Cuerpo Y Palabra (Purdue Studies In Romance Literatures, 72)

Artesana de si misma reevalua el lugar de Gabriela Mistral, premio Nobel de literatura, en la historia literaria e intelectual de America Latina. Cabello Hutt acerca a los lectores a la amplia, pero escasamente estudiada, prosa periodistica de Mistral ademas de un conjuncto de manuscritos, cartas e imagenes provenientes de archivas norteamericanos y chilenos asi como del recientemente abierto archivo de su albacea y companera, Doris Dana. Artesana de si misma explora mas alla de la ampliamente estudiada poesia de Mistral y demuestra que su prosa, representacion visual y performatividad de genero son claves para comprender la auto-construccion de esta figura como una intelectual latinoamericana y una escritora de reconocimiento internacional. Artesana de si misma by Claudia Cabello-Hutt reevaluates the place of Nobel laureateGabriela Mistral in the literary and intellectual history of Latin America, illuminating andfilling a number of lingering voids in the study of this canonical figure. Cabello-Hutt introduces readers to Mistral's vast but scarcely studied journalisticprose as well as her unpublished manuscripts, letters, and images held in theUnited States and in newly openedChilean archives. Moving beyond her amply discussed poetry, Cabello-Hutt demonstrates that Mistral's essays,visual representations, and gender performance are key to understanding Mistral'sself-construction as a Latin American female intellectual and internationallyrecognized writer.
