Abstract

This article offers an exploration of the creative production of women writers and filmmakers who engage with tourism as a setting for fictional imaginaries. Centering on recent fiction from Chile and Argentina, it examines how tourism has infused new energy into the withering genre of travel writing, opening up a space for the expression of female subjectivities in a field previously dominated by men. Through close reading of works by Uhart, Katz, Scherson and Jeftanovic, it explores how these Latin American women challenge Michel Onfray’s definition of travel literature.
