%X in this essay, lesbian identity is analyzed within a cultural context which has made of lesbianism a synonym of the unnameable and inintelligible, thus inscribing a blank space and eliminating the possibility of a counter-discourse. the cultural invisibility of lesbianism has been incremented by the primacy of private space and the limited access to cultural production, two facts that have cancelled the creation of a specific genealogy and sub-culture. the novels here discussed inscribe within that blank space, an imaginary of lesbian sexuality in a discourse that traces a silenced identity. both in en breve c¨¢rcel (1981) by sylvia molloy and el cielo dividido (1996) by reina roff¨¦, erotic experiences are the bridge to a reflexion on lesbian identity while in tu nombre escrito en el agua (1996) by irene gonz¨¢lez frei, desire and identity are intertwined in a reciprocal relation that cancels the paradigms of phalogocentrism.
