Black hole, unfathomable abyss, heteros par excellence, the feminine is inscribed beyond signifiers and beyond letters, which always eludes it. That this book sits in those unnamables and unfathomables attests the value writing has in our lives. When a pandemic ravages the planet and something non-human confronts all forces: scientific, political and economic, a book written by many hands brings us closer to thinking that perhaps, what \"remains of Auschwitz\" is poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Marité Colovini, National University of Rosario\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Feminine explores the female subject and the meaning of silence in psychology, literature and art. Among other areas, this book makes a significant contribution to the field of Hispanic and the works of contemporary women writers. One remarkable aspect this work acknowledges is the silencing of women writers who, despite their innovation and quality, are relegated from a literary canon. This book reveals how the different avatars of silence may be examples of patriarchal violence against women\u003c\/p\u003e -- Silvia Ruiz Tresgallo, Autonomous University of Queretaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis enthralling book displays a polyphony of voices, analyzing through different perspectives the silence and the silencing of women in Latin America. The reader is not only intellectually but emotionally engaged with the historical context of this silence and its traumatic effects, as she is introduced to women writers, and artists, who addressed that unperceived issue in the aftermath of socio-political upheavals. From my perspective, The Silent Feminine has opened the field for an enlightening dialogue with its authors.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Françoise Davoine, independent psychoanalyst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book gives voice to 'femininity', both situating and exploring how this concept departs from ideologically-loaded representations of women and clarifying the role of cultural productions – from the visual and literary arts – in shaping and expressing the ‘unfathomable female’. A landmark book for Anglophone readers, showcasing key Latin American feminist and psychoanalytic scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Erica Burman, University of Manchester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Silencing of Women and the Silent Feminine in Literature About War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAraceli Colín Cabrera\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Natalia Rivas Colín\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Nellie Campobello: Writing, Testimony, and Pedagogies Against Silence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCathia Huerta Arellano \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Maricruz Ocampo Guerrero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Feminine Jouissance in Elena Garro’s Writing: Rescuing Silent, Fertile Difference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlor de María Gamboa Solís \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Mariana Sandoval Gamboa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Autoviudas: Prejudiced Justice for The Ladies of Death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNubia Carolina Rovelo Escoto And Francisco Javier de Santiago Herrero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Maricruz Ocampo Guerrero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Feminine Voices as An Exploration of The Unfathomable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlejandra Cantoral Pozo And Alfredo Emilio Huerta Arellano\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Helen Harper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Destinies of Silence, Silence of Destiny: “The Good Daughter” By Almudena Grandes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMario Orozco Guzmán And Hada Soria Escalante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Creative Silence in the Works of Frida Kahlo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphine Scotto di Vettimo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated By Victoria Grace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Las Tinieblas y El Agua Para Chocolate: Two Narratives About Feminine Care of Old People.
