Artesana de s??? misma by Claudia Cabello-Hutt reevaluates the place of Nobel laureateGabriela Mistral in the literary and intellectual history of Latin America, illuminating and filling a number of lingering voids in the study of this canonical figure. Cabello-Hutt introduces readers to Mistral's vast but scarcely studied journalistic prose as well as her unpublished manuscripts, letters, and images held in the United States and in newly opened Chilean archives. Moving beyond her amply discussed poetry, Cabello-Hutt demonstrates that Mistral's essays,visual representations, and gender performance are key to understanding Mistral's self-construction as a Latin American female intellectual and internationally recognized writer. From 1920 until herdeath in 1957, Mistral shaped salient national and transnational debates, brokered relations between major writers, and fashioned a new model of thetransnational intellectual in the context of anti-imperialist Latino americanism, US-promoted Pan-Americanism, and rising populist politics and social movements of the time. Placing Mistral's gender, class, and racial performances in richer context, Cabello-Hutt reveals them as not only groundbreaking and strategically fashioned, but also as a logical product of the tensions, desires, and power struggles of the cultural field of this period- a cultural field in the process of redefining the interactions between the intellectual, the masses, and political and cultural institutions. Further, by mapping out the transatlantic intellectualnetworks in which Mistral operated- networks that included Jos??? Vasconcelos, Alfonso Reyes, Victoria Ocampo, and Joaqu???n Garc???a Monge-Artesana de s??? misma also examines the processes of democratizationand modernization that transformed the cultural field in the wider regionbetween 1910 and 1940. - Artesana de s??? misma de Claudia Cabello Hutt reeval???a el lugar de Gabriela Mistral, premio Nobel de literatura, en la historia literaria e intelectual de Am???rica Latina. Cabello Hutt acerca a los lectores a la amplia, pero escasamente estudiada, prosa period???stica de Mistral adem???s de a un conjunto de manuscritos, cartas e im???genes provenientes de archivos norteamericanos y chilenos as??? como del recientemente abierto archivo de su albacea y compa???era, Doris Dana. Artesana de s??? misma explora m???s all??? de la ampliamente estudiada poes???a de Mistral y demuestra que su prosa, representaci???n visual y performatividad de g???nero son claves para comprender la auto-construcci???n de esta figura como una intelectual latinoamericana y una escritora de reconocimiento internacional. Desde 1920 hasta su muerte en 1957, Mistral particip??? activamente en debates nacionales y continentales, gestion??? relaciones entre escritores y traz??? un nuevo modelo de intelectual transnacional en el contexto de un latinoamericanismo anti-imperialista, que choca con un panamericanismo promovido por Estados Unidos, en d???cadas marcadas por revoluciones y movimientos sociales. Al ubicar el proceso de construcci???n de g???nero, clase y raza de Mistral en un contexto m???s amplio, Cabello Hutt argumenta que este proceso no solo es original y estrat???gicamente dise???ado sino que tambi???n es un producto l???gico de las tensiones, deseos y luchas de poder que determinan el campo cultural latinoamericano de este periodo. Un campo cultural en proceso de redefinir las interacciones entre el intelectual, las masas y las instituciones pol???ticas y culturales. Al trazar las redes intelectuales transatl???nticas en que Mistral operaba -redes que inclu???an a Jos??? Vasconcelos, Alfonso Reyes, Romain Rolland, Victoria Ocampo y Joaqu???n Garc???a Monge, entre muchos otros- Artesana de s??? misma a
