Entre el cuerpo dominado y la escritura liberadora: feminismo latinoamericano en ¿Por qué hacen tanto ruido? (1992), de Carmen Ollé
Between the Dominated Body and Liberating Writing: Latin American Feminism in ¿Por qué hacen tanto ruido? (1992) by Carmen Ollé

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the novel ¿Por qué hacen tanto ruido? (1992) by Peruvian writer Carmen Ollé from a critical Latin American feminist perspective, focusing on the relationship between body, oppression, and creative emancipation. It proposes a methodological framework that combines the thought of Luce Irigaray, Liuba Kogan, and William Rowe with an ideological and historical contextualization of feminism in Latin America. The figure of Sarah, the work’s protagonist, represents a subject trapped in the contradictions of a patriarchal system, whose voice progressively becomes a vehicle of resistance and self-affirmation. The analysis raises how Ollé’s literature participates in the construction of a genealogy of writers who have problematized the place of women in Peruvian society, from a radical poetics of the body and desire.
