This thesis seeks to examine the possibility of a champurria literature, a term originally used in a derogatory sense to designate mestizo identities situated between the Mapuche and Chilean worlds, here re-signified as a poetic and political space of resistance. Through an analysis of the work of Daniela Catrileo, the study explores the (im)possibility of a return to the Wallmapu, understood not as a concrete territorial reclamation but rather as a symbolic and affective construction. The research brings into dialogue the concept of utopia—conceived as a “non-place” and as a horizon of transformation—with that of identity, reflecting on the emergence of a new Latin American literature and on the reconfiguration of the mestizo subject: a new "indio".
La presente tesi si propone di indagare la possibilità di una letteratura champurria, termine originariamente dispregiativo utilizzato per designare identità meticce tra il mondo mapuche e quello cileno, qui reinterpretato come spazio poetico e politico di resistenza. Attraverso l’analisi dell’opera di Daniela Catrileo, si esplora la (im)possibilità di un ritorno al Wallmapu non come recupero territoriale concreto, bensì come costruzione simbolica e affettiva. Il lavoro mette in dialogo il concetto di utopia - inteso come “non-luogo” e orizzonte di trasformazione - e di identità, riflettendo su una nuova letteratura latinoamericana e un nuovo meticcio, un nuovo indio.

Abstract
This thesis seeks to examine the possibility of a champurria literature, a term originally used in a derogatory sense to designate mestizo identities situated between the Mapuche and Chilean worlds, here re-signified as a poetic and political space of resistance. Through an analysis of the work of Daniela Catrileo, the study explores the (im)possibility of a return to the Wallmapu, understood not as a concrete territorial reclamation but rather as a symbolic and affective construction. The research brings into dialogue the concept of utopia—conceived as a “non-place” and as a horizon of transformation—with that of identity, reflecting on the emergence of a new Latin American literature and on the reconfiguration of the mestizo subject: a new "indio".| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
