RESEÑA LIBRO «RAYEN, MUJERES AL SUR», DE ALAN PAILLÁN

por MARJORIE HUAIQUI

Un libro que evoca el sur, un Wallmapu no esencializado ni centralizado en la comunidad. Quizás, una película, un buen cine que muestra imágenes sensibles, notorias y no menos profundas, hasta el punto, quizás por mi experiencia de habitar el sur, un olor que conmueve, junto al grisáceo de la neblina del río Calle Calle y los tubos fluorescentes que iluminaron de color alguna vez el puente.

Un decir de la chuchu, la abuela, presente continuamente nos habla y enmarca una literatura mapunche, identidad propia de la genealogía materna. Desde la portada nos muestra un plano muy sutil pero concreto. Porque jamás verás a una mujer netamente urbana pelando un pollo, o tendrás el recibimiento en la waria, de una mujer con una gallina en las manos, desplumándola para hacerte una sopa. Por tanto, un libro que evoca genealogía, la continua mantención de la imagen materna, de la abuela presente en la oralitura.

Un libro con lenguajes cruzados entre mapuzungun y castellano, una fotografía mapuche que habla por sí sola, y un libro que por completo es un cine. Al igual que el disfrute de una película, cada imagen literaria y fotográfica nos entrega un mensaje, una experiencia estética profunda y sensible.

Una literatura sin género, una voz literaria que comunica muy bien el femenino en una identidad masculina, parece que la chuchu hizo muy bien su trabajo. Porque está presente en toda la obra. Es que, parece “El fugaz reflejo del pájaro amarillo sobre las quietas aguas del río” (p. 26). Porque la chuchu también critica en el “Decir y hacer” esa identidad esencializada por cánones impuestos y que decaen en la experiencia, así como también, en su sensible “Recado” (p. 18) parece que es una memoria que nadie cuenta lo que ha soñado. Y en “Mapuche kimun” (p. 21) surge la palabra crítica, una narración crítica que está entre la waria y Wallmapu, que sólo necesita el piwke para ser leído.

De esos libros que no necesitas a otros libros para ser leído, porque se puede leer por sí mismo, logrando las pretensiones del autor. Que sea leído por cualquier persona y que se entienda, sin necesariamente ser una persona letrada. Una sencillez profunda, como la fotografía de la pichi zomo que mira el estero (p. 37) o la imagen fija del wilki (zorzal) posado mirando de frente (p. 19). Una hermosa fotografía que podría ser una obra distinta pero es parte de la oralitura, un arte tan genuino y propio de los pueblos originarios que siempre termina con un nuevo comienzo, el de sorprendernos.
