FORCINITO, Ana. Desintegración y resistencia: corporalidad, género y escritura en Mano de obra de Diamela Eltit. Anclajes [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp.91-107. ISSN 1851-4669.

Mano de obra (2002) by Diamela Eltit can be read as an exploration of Chilean citizenship during the postdictatorship and of the processes of transformation (and disintegration) that accompany the dismembering of the collective and popular subjectivities of the past. Eltit questions the model of redemocratization based on citizenship vigilance and consumerism supremacy. Even if the devastating force of the images of social disintegration cannot be denied in Mano de Obra, it is still possible to approach the text from the interstices of feminine resistance, a model of intermittent subversion that is anchored in corporeality and in writing. In Eltit's narrative, gender serves to expose simultaneously the assembling of patriarchal discourse within the Chilean economic and cultural landscape and of the cracks through which expressions of rebellion and resistance can escape. My intention in this essay is to rethink the disorganized nomadism of the feminine and corporeal component as a strategy of subversion against the new forms of the globalized neoliberal vigilance and domination.
