Abstract

This article aims to explore, from a gender perspective, the different subject's positions in Shumpall (2011) by Roxana Miranda Rupailaf. The posibilities that the text of the poet represent, are related fundamentally to the dissolution of pre-existing hierarchies that hold a unique conformation in the representation of the subject "woman" from the mapuche and non-mapuche perceptions. Therefore, what is necessary to track is, what are those made by the poet from the resignification of the mapuche oral narration, in the epew (oral account of fictitious type) of shumpall. Ruptures are articulated with the self-production of border subjectivities and the political configuration of the body mestizado, within a context of experiences of cultural crossings.
