Abstract

Woman writer, Latinamerican and Jewess, Margo Glantz defines herself as a nomad subject, with a ludic attitude towards any kind of limit. Combining criticism and creation, her essays delve in colonial discourses as much as in those of contemporary concentration camps. Having coined “onda mexicana” as a label for the latest urban novels, she also produces erotic literature. She emphatically states that her writing originates in her sexuality, her “nearest geography”, although this might sound obscene. Her poetics composes figures that insist in embodying texts and textualizing bodies, for “it has always been most important to descend unto the body, a strong concern of Bataille’s: he always starts from the foot’s big toe, from the ground, from the most corporeal objects, from urine, blood …”. Tongues, feet, breasts, hands, hair, allow for a new encoding of Latinamerican literature and culture. Adrienne Rich demanded “A politics that posed women’s questions”. Margo Glantz, it may be stated, advances a “Criticism that poses women’s questions”, in which words and bodies give form to a poetics offering a new politics of reading.
