Abstract
Esta investigación surge en un contexto en que el campo peruano de la ficción
no es explorado por mujeres y tampoco es estudiado a profundidad por la
sociología. Así, las escritoras de ficción en Perú han quedado invisibilizadas
tanto en el canon literario, como en la academia sociológica. Frente a este vacío,
esta investigación se pregunta sobre cómo se construyen las escritoras de ficción
en el campo de la producción literaria peruana. Se propone que el desarrollo de
una escritora está influenciado por la incertidumbre del campo de la ficción en
Perú, donde hay una contradicción entre lógicas equitativas y hegemónicas de
género. Frente a esta incertidumbre, las escritoras peruanas emplean
estrategias en la forma de redes de soporte y el diálogo que mantienen con su
público para establecerse como autoras. Para llegar a dicha hipótesis, se emplea
como sustento teórico al enfoque de género, la construcción social de la literatura
y la crítica literaria feminista. Además, se propone emplear una metodología
cualitativa de estudio de caso en donde se utilice la etnografía virtual para el
recojo de información secundaria y las entrevistas semi-estructuradas para la
información primaria. De manera preliminar, la investigación concluye que la
invisibilización de la escritora de ficción peruana no solo se debe a lógicas de
género que priman en el canon literario. Además, también se debe al poco
desarrollo del espacio editorial en Perú, lo cual afecta la producción de obras en
general, aunque impacta desproporcionadamente a las autoras peruanas.
This research arises in a context where the Peruvian field of fiction is neither explored by women nor studied in depth by sociology. Thus, female fiction writers in Peru have been made invisible in both the literary canon and the sociological academy. Faced with this gap, this research sets the question of how female fiction writers construct themselves in the field of Peruvian literary production. It is proposed that the development of a female writer is influenced by the uncertainty of the field of fiction in Peru, where there is a contradiction between equal and hegemonic gender logics. Due to this uncertainty, Peruvian female writers employ strategies in the form of support networks and the dialogue they have with their audience to establish themselves as authors. To reach this hypothesis, the gender approach, social construction of literature and feminist literary criticism are used to build the theoretical framework. In addition, it is proposed to employ a qualitative case study methodology where virtual ethnography is used for the collection of secondary information and semistructured interviews for primary information. The research concludes thus far that the invisibility of the Peruvian female fiction writer is not only due to gender logics that prevail in the literary canon. In addition, it is also due to the little development of the publishing camp in Peru, which affects the production of works in general, although it disproportionately impacts female authors.
