Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the poetic text Santiago Waria (1996) by Elvira Hernández based on two reflections: the city of Santiago as a territory that stages the post-dictatorship Chilean process and the identity’s trajectory of the (auto)configuration of her poetic voice, which acts as a recognition of an otherness as gender in its political and ethnic difference. The analysis describes the relationship of both lines with a maverick attitude to the Concertación’s political project; the poetic speaker provokes the opening of the National History’s trauma, revealing the mechanisms of concealment while declaring the difference in her experience in a gesture that install the role of women in the writing scene as well as the revindication of the poet in their critical claims and social roles.
