This book explores crucial moments in the emergence of feminine
culture in Colombia through the work of ground-breaking artist
Debora Arango, best-selling novelist Laura Restrepo, and three
generations of documentary filmmakers. Women artists, writers and
filmmakers in Colombia have consistently foregrounded the
relationship between gender and the often violent processes which
have marked the country's history over the past century. This book
explores crucial moments in the emergence of feminine culture in
Colombia hitherto unexamined in English-language criticism through
an examination of the work of ground-breaking artist Debora Arango,
best-selling novelist Laura Restrepo, andthree generations of
documentary filmmakers. Deborah Martin shows how Colombian women
writers and artists have critiqued discourses that territorialize
femininity and provided alternative models that free women from
their passive or allegorical representational status as border
guards, re-thinking feminine subjectivity and taking it to new
symbolic territories. The book's approach---comparing art,
literature and film---reveals a resistive trajectoryin dialogue
with dominant tendencies in Colombian feminist theory, itself the
product of an intellectual sphere conditioned by the need to think
about political violence. DEBORAH MARTIN is a Lecturer in Latin
American Cultural Studies at University College London.
