Si Edipo hablase gallego...

Abstract

Este trabajo pretende interpretar la literatura gallega como producto cultural contra-poder, confeccionado sobre una lengua perseguida, lo que obliga a una serie de decisiones conscientes por parte de quien escribe y condiciona la lectura final, otorgándole una condición inequívocamente transgresora. La autora no pretende tanto una visión objetiva y neutra como explicar su propia experiencia como escritora y contribuir al debate con un relato de parte, voluntariamente subjetivo, lo que en ningún caso significa falso.

This article interprets Galician literature as a cultural product of resistance constructed in and by a persecuted language. The status of the language calls for a series of conscious decisions by the writer and also influences how the work will be read, bestowing it with an unequivocally transgressive force. The author does not propose to offer an objective and neutral perspective but to explain her own experience as a writer and to contribute to the debate with a partial and intentionally subjective account, which by no means makes it false.
