Reynolds","doi":"10.2979/chiricu.5.2.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2979/chiricu.5.2.06","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This essay analyzes spectral presences in two stories published in Ire’ne Lara Silva’s short story collection, flesh to bone (2013). Spectrality theory holds that specters can represent unresolved trauma by keeping present events that have been erased, forgotten, or suppressed from official memory and/or discourse. Aligning with this claim, specters in the selected stories, “duérmete” and “la huesera, or, flesh to bone,” haunt in memory of acts of violence against women. Both stories recognize their characters’ trauma with spectral presences that draw upon the legend of a healer called La Huesera, a woman of folklore from the US/Mexico borderlands. In “duérmete,” ghosts haunt an individual who suffered domestic abuse, rape, and the consequential loss of her unborn child. Elements of the legendary huesera appear in the story to help the victim reconcile with her past. Lara Silva’s story “la huesera, or, flesh to bone” reinscribes La Huesera, creating a new version of the legend in which the spectral healer brings peace to hundreds of women murdered in the femicide occurring in the El Paso/Ciudad Juárez border region. With the study of these two texts, this essay asserts the spectral role in the representation and healing of individual and collective trauma.","PeriodicalId":240236,"journal":{"name":"Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132636387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sought to answer the questions, why has this new virtual space been created and what initial purpose did it serve? To do so, we analyzed 2,918 total images that were posted with the hashtag #CovidNasFavelas over the course of thirty-eight days. We determined that nearly 80 percent of the images could be categorized into three groups: (1) Public Service Announcements, (2) Movements of Solidarity, and (3) Race and Politics. We found that the creation of a physically distant virtual place (#Covid19NasFavelas) became a participatory platform in which vulnerable communities forged a path to their own survival during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":240236,"journal":{"name":"Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131259395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Esta obra es la más reconocida dentro de la narrativa de la autora puertorriqueña; pero todavía no se han analizado los treces cuentos como una totalidad textual, aunque el libro fue bien recibido por la crítica, por lo que ha sido objeto de interpretaciones parciales. Por esa razón, se propone un acercamiento en base a los conceptos vinculados a la colonialidad del poder y el enfoque decolonial. Desde ese punto de vista, la hipótesis es que las tres secciones del libro constituyen una unidad cuyo eje es una metáfora: la lluvia es la emancipación cultural en el Caribe, lo cual es requisito fundamental para la liberación política. Entonces, “Nubosidad variable” se centra en los aspectos que refuerzan la colonialidad o impiden la liberación caribeña; “Probabilidad de lluvia” enfoca el posible proceso de descolonización sociopolítica, pero siempre como un proyecto inconcluso; finalmente, “Ñapa de vientos y tronadas” subraya la decolonización del imaginario como primer paso para la verdadera emancipación de los países caribeños.","PeriodicalId":240236,"journal":{"name":"Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133283393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
