Abstract

This article refers to identity narratives written by female subjects in the midst of a hegemonic cultural space in Chile and Latin America at the turn of the 20th Century: created by European theatre companies on tour in outlying countries subject to neo-colonization. I use as referential textuality the theatre criticism of a pioneer in Chilean literature: Inés Echeverría (Iris), revealing discursive plots related to genre and neo-colonial issues, mingled with her positions regarding drama, performance and body aesthetics.
