Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this article is to do further readings on Gabriela Mistral's exile from the recognition of a writer who acted and resisted against the vicissitudes of the public realm. Methodology: From an interdisciplinary approach, we reflect on Mistral's exile from a comparative analysis in relation to the frontier dynamics of the Middle Ages between Christians and Muslims, in order to ponder the resistance which can be seen as different from the apparent passivity once attributed to Mistral as a victim of her destiny. Results: The exile in Mistral is basically other people’s patent rejection of her writing activity, which ends up unveiling the romanticized myth of an unavoidable cruel destiny established in the past. Discussions: The border dynamics in the context of Mistral's written heritage show a writing that splits off from universalized republican values in the literary field ​​in order to install a woman's prose, from the subjectivity of her will, that influences the Ibero-American cultural field to, far from only showing the identities that intervene it, represent and vindicate them in the Ibero-American region. Conclusions: It is possible to conclude that the disappearance of the myth not only allows us to recognize her empowerment as a writer but also the reciprocal intersubjective exchange that she has with her environment.
