Abstract

This article proposes a queer, feminist, and situated reading of Gabriela Mistral to challenge the patriarchal narratives that have diminished her figure and erased the dissident power of her work. Drawing on archival research, performativity, and a queer ethics of care, it illuminates an ambiguous, affectively complex Mistral, linked to genealogies of Latin American resistance
