| Sumario: | The relationship between playwriting and Argentine history has acquired new dimensions in light of the renewal of the contemporary theatrical field. In the metropolitan context, a significant number of women playwrights have gained visibility through dramaturgical projects that revisit and revise the past. Among them, we propose to examine the work of Adriana Tursi, as a playwright-historian whose writing interrogates and challenges hegemonic historiographical narratives surrounding women. Our corpus is composed of two dramatic texts whose main characters, Mariquita Sánchez and Aurelia Vélez Sarsfield, represent a female subjectivity that manages to inscribe itself in the public sphere and achieve an emancipated condition in writing. Through the assumption of an authorial voice that appears autobiographical, both characters bring the past into dialogue with the present, reconfiguring historical discourse in ways that dislocate it from the dominant paradigms of their time. |
