Nelly Richard y la critica cultural en America Latina Sarto, Ana Del <p>Nelly Richard's work has been crucial in introducing Feminist and Poststructuralist theories within Latin American Literary and Cultural Studies. This dissertation discusses Richard's <i>æuvre</i> as a sympton of the current social, political and ideological unrest of Chilean intellectuality, culture, and society. It aims to deconstruct Richard's discourse from its own premises in order to unravel its paradoxes, aporias and ambiguities, since Richard's insistence on the discursive nature of cultural practices makes her lose touch with social and political conflict. In order to overcome all dychotomies, Richard remains trapped in a binary logic, and in her desire to deconstruct the discursive construction of reality ("actuality"), she ends up decontextualizing it. Her emphasis on transgression and subversion makes her propose a strategy of self-marginality, in the understanding that marginality <i>per se</i> constitutes a preferential productive <i>locus</i>. However, this strategy leads to its own dissolution or co-option by the hegemonic system. Consequently, although Richard's "anti-project" aims to deconstruct a represive system, it needs the renewed presence of this same system for its mere existence.</p><p>This dissertation analyzes her hybrid texts, by adopting oblique deconstructive strategies, flexible methodologies, and creative hermeneutics. The discursive devices and singular style are designed as progressive and concentric instances always in dialogue with Richard's texts; in a word, the intent is to deconstruct Richard's deconstruction. This project is divided into three parts. "explosions," is a detailed itinerary of the theoretical foundations of Richard's "transgressive poetic critique" vis-à-vis Julia Kristeva's theory as elaborated in her <i>Revolution of Poetic Language</i>. "cuts and fissures," fictionalizes the dislocated history of Chilean criticism and aesthetics as practiced by the artistic movement, <i>escena de avanzada</i>, whose most important ideologue was Richard. A "dialogic intermezzo," "dissonances," articulates the second and the third parts focusing on one of the crucial debates in which Richard ever participated, between the social sciences and the <i>escena de avanzada</i>. This debate explains the hidden articulations between the aesthetic and the social dimensions around which Richard's later work continues to rotate. "intensities," finally, examines some metaphorized traces and residues from which Richard develops and, paradoxically, systematizes her "anti-project" of a "Cultural Critique."</p> 1999 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1248376908 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1248376908 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
