An research of the novels' constitution and language unearths how Eltit seeks to reconfigure the principles of symbolic buildings and so include the mummy as an issue. even supposing the examine attracts on a feminist psychoanalytic framework to discover Eltit's non-stop disarticulation of key strategies that emanate from the West, particularly relating to the formation of gender and sexuality, the paintings of the key Chilean cultural theorist, Nelly Richard, can be used to situate Eltit's paintings in the political and cultural context of Chile.
