Abstract:
Based on the perception defended by Bernd (2012) that transcultural mobilities exert a significant influence on literary practices, this paper seeks to highlight the role played by the writer Josefina Plá (1903-1999) in the Paraguayan literary system, describing its importance in the conformation of contemporary narrative of this literary community. Through the analysis of the short story Sesenta listas (1981), it seeks to explore the transcultural / phagocytic power of Josefina Plá's narratives, at the same time as the violence engendered by coloniality in the cultural community of the South Atlantic.
