Sumario:This essay analices Gabriela Cabezón Camara’s first novel, La virgen cabeza (2009), and finds in it a number of thematic and formal repetitions that continue to appear in her following books. The narrative polyphony that breaks the hegemonic and patriarcal idea of a single valid voice, the representation of disident bodies and the biopolitical selection of lives that diserve to be saved and lives that ought to be exterminated, produce an unusual novel in Argentinian literature that questions its own literary tradition. La virgen cabeza is a literary body where many other bodies intertwine: not normative bodies, lusting bodies, animal bodies, “monstruous” bodies; bodies left behind; bodies that don’t matter.
