Popis: The history of literature has had as a paradigm a notion of literary tradition thought from male authorship. This work proposes some notes to explore and discuss this patriarchal notion of tradition and, in turn, proposes a possible way of revising it. So, we examine Otra tempestad, a dramatic text by Cuban playwrights Flora Lauten and Raquel Carrió, to search some of the strategies of dissent that allow, from the perspective of two Latin American authors, to question the idea that coloniality and patriarchy have built on America. In this way, Lauten and Carrió appropriate and distance themselves from the Western tradition, making dramatic writing an instrument of affirmation and positioning.
