Abstract

The body is a way of being in the world and to contemplate it. The body limits, interacts and enjoys while gender captivates and creates. Geography confines, epoch determines and circumstances may be decisive. The work exposes such aspects in the poetry of four women who belong to the same generation, but to different geographic areas. More specifically, it shows writing as a projection of the woman; the body as lyrical subject and object and hand as part and symbol of the fullness and the collapse of corporeality, especially female corporeality. The topics dealt with in the paper will be, on the one hand, how the body inhabits the world and what its relationship with the writing is, and on the other hand, the study will analyze the hand as a metonymy of the female body and the changes due to the passing of time.
