"Terra on arrelar": la construcció de genealogia literària femenina segons Maria-Mercè Marçal

Abstract

In this article, Fina Llorca Antolin talks about the way Maria-Merce Marcal intended to create a feminine literary genealogy. When Marcal started to publish, she realised how important it is for a writer to establish a literary filiation. Since there seemed to be only such a filiation among male catalan writers, she started to look for connections with other women who wrote in her language. The writer of this article has analyzed in what way Marcal made her connection to other women writers visible and divided her findings into three groups: her poetic work, theoretical reflection and practical activities and proyects. Llorca Antolin gives examples of each category and shows that it´s in the interviews and declarations to the press where we find the thickness of Marcal´s thoughts on the subject.
