SALINAS, Francisco Simon. HOMO FEMINAE LUPUS: THE REPRESENTATION OF AN ANTHROPOPHAGIC CITIZENSHIP IN POST-COUP CHILEAN POETRY. Acta lit. [online]. 2016, n.52, pp.163-183. ISSN 0717-6848.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-68482016000100009.

Abstract: Different poems published in Chile after 1973 represent the authoritarian State as an anthropophagic Leviathan whose government devours the citizens. These writings imagine the city as a cattle ranch or as a poultry house, both populated with carnivorous animals that decimate the community. The political violence executed by the State is figured as a predatory practice and, thus, these texts enunciate the end of an illustrated Republic and the regression towards a barbarian society. Homo femi-nae lupus, poets, also, postpone their virility as they create transvestite poetic voices to symbolize the dictatorial consumption as a castration performed over the political agency of people and its speech.

Palabras clave : Chilean poetry; dictatorship; food; anthropophagy; transvestism.
