Resumo: This article reflects on feminist literature in the post-military coup context in Chile, thinking it as one that is capable of questioning power mechanisms exercised from masculinity. The literature and performance of Diamela Eltit stand out as actions of intervention and confrontation to the control imposed on the bodies and, in particular, to the imposition of a bipolarity of genders affirmed by a militarist-patriarchal logic. In The Fourth World, the subversion of gender colonization - which imposes compulsory heterosexuality and female subjugation - is analyzed through transvestism (and gender performance) and lesbianism as gestures of decolonization of the female body.

La literatura y la performance de Diamela Eltit sobresalen como acciones de intervención y enfrentamiento al control impuesto sobre los cuerpos y, en particular, a la imposición de una bipolaridad de géneros afirmada por una lógica militarista-patriarcal. En El Cuarto mundo, se analiza la subversión a la colonización del género - que impone la heterosexualidad obligatoria y el sometimiento femenino -, a través del travestismo (y la performance de género) y del lesbianismo como gestos de descolonización del cuerpo femenino.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2022-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/letras/article/view/3732810.5902/2176148537328Letras; n. 59: (Dez. 2019) - Corpo, trauma e memória: desfazendo gêneros na literatura e nas artes das Américas; 167-1822176-14851519-3985reponame:Letras (Santa Maria.
