feminicide, Acre, contemporary Brazilian literature, police novelAbstract
This article reads Patrícia Melo’s Mulheres empilhadas along with O Guesa, by Sousândrade, as an organizing principle for the various plains of the novel, but especially for the one in which the forest appears as both hell and cure. From this route that goes from the urban to the forest in the context of indigenous peoples in contemporary Brazil, this text looks into the figuration of Acre as the scene of a new exoticism in recent Brazilian literature. Lastly, this article tackles the detective novel, as discussed by Josefina Ludmer in her article “Mujeres que matam,” and its look at femicide in Latin America.
