        This essay engages with the representation of subversive motherhood embodied in the protagonists of the novels Lumpérica (1983) and Los vigilantes (1994) by Diamela Eltit. I argue that, through the articulation of mother figures, such as L. Iluminada and Margarita, Eltit gives an account of the permanent struggle between the totalitarian powers of Augusto Pinochet's military regime and the American female subject. The rebellious mothers try to dismantle the ideological devices of the dictatorship and disrupt the perpetuation of paternal law. For this reason, boths narratives focus on a semiotic-pulsional potential of mothers as a force capable of destabilizing the phallogocentric order and reestablishing the symbiotic bond with children. Finally, I propose that subversive motherhood is at the foundation of Eltit's aesthetics: a motherhood that exceeds the literary and that seeks to blur the the boundaries between art and life.
        En este ensayo se analiza la representación de la maternidad subversiva encarnada en las protagonistas de las novelas Lumpérica (1983) y Los vigilantes (1994) de Diamela Eltit. Sostengo que, a través de los personajes como madres, L. Iluminada y Margarita, Eltit da cuenta de la permanente pugna entre los poderes totalitarios del régimen militar de Augusto Pinochet y el sujeto femenino americano. Las madres rebeldes tratan de desmontar los dispositivos ideológicos de la dictadura e interrumpir la perpetuación de la ley paterna. Por esto, las narraciones otorgan centralidad al potencial semiótico-pulsional de las madres como una fuerza capaz de desestabilizar el orden falogocéntrico y restablecer el lazo simbiótico con los hijos. Por último, propongo que la maternidad subversiva se encuentra en la base de la estética de Eltit: una maternidad que excede lo literario y pretende desdibujar las fronteras arte-vida.
