Abstract

By practicing a queer reading on a selection of texts by Silvina Ocampo, Julio Cortázar and Sylvia Molloy, this article seeks to think the term lesbian voice, as a concept but also as a reading tool. Based on the idea that the construction of the lesbian voice raises literary and political problems, the analysis will focus on the specific manners it adopts, especially on the relation it holds with the past and the secret and on the definitions that it builds in relation to the lesbian body. Whereas in the stories of Ocampo and Cortázar the analysis will centre, mainly, on the relation that the texts propose between lesbian voice, impossibility, passion and grief, in Sylvia Molloy’s novel it will deal, especially, with the relationship between lesbian voice and secret, to suggest, at last, that towards the end of the novel new possibilities, related to the construction of this voice, seem to open.
