This article draws on M. de Certeau, J. Jacobs, and H. D. Thoreau, among others, to explore the cultural representation of walking as a revitalizing urban force, a daily practice that although seemingly ordinary and apolitical, may become potentially subversive of the deadening impulses of cartography and capitalism. The analysis focuses on the complex links between walking, creativity, and death. The article discusses three American stories that, in their heterogeneity and the diversity of their origins and proposals, provide for new approaches to either subversive or submissive practices of walking and performing space, from Chicana author Helena María Viramontes’s “Neighbors” (1985), where characters appear increasingly paralyzed, entering a state of stasis, subjected to the obstacles of ordered, dominated spaces; to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006), where a father and son struggle to remain alive by walking, paradoxically, on the road; to finally Daniel Alarcón’s “The Visitor” ...

ESTE ESTUDIO SE CENTRA EN LA BUSQUEDA POR PARTE DE JAMES BALDWIN DE UNA ESTETICA ADECUADA PARA LA ARTICULACION DE LA EXPERIENCIA AFROAMERICANA. TOMANDO COMO PUNTO DE PARTIDA EL ALEJAMIENTO DE BALDWIN DE LA TRADICION DE LA LITERATURA DE PROTESTA, EL ESTUDIO DIVIDE SU NARRATIVA EN 3 ASPIRACIONES EXPRESIVAS DIFERENTES: EL MODO BIBLICO, EL MODO BLUES Y EL MODO GOSPELS. SE DEDICA UN CAPITULO A CADA UNO DE ESTOS MODOS. EL MODO BIBLICO ARTICULA GO TELL IT TO THE MOUNTAIN. EL CORRESPONDIENTE ANALISIS SE CENTRA EN LA INTERTEXTUALIDAD DE ESTA NOVELA RESPECTO A LA BIBLIA E INTERPRETA EL USO QUE EL AUTOR HACE DE ESPIRITUALES EN SU PROSA. EL MODO BLUES REFIERE A "SONNY'S BLUES", ANOTHER COUNTRY Y IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, Y EVALUA EL ELEMENTO BLUES QUE EL AUTOR INSERTA EN EL RELATO. EL MODO GOSPEL SE FIJA EN JUST ABOVE MY HEAD Y EXPLORA LA BUSQUEDA POR PARTE DE BALDWIN DE UN NUEVO ESTILO LITERARIO TOMANDO LA MUSICA GOSPEL COMO CODIGO DE SIGNIFICACION.

Fiction, by definition, is distinct from fact. Presumably it's the product of imagination — invention — and it claims the freedom to dispense with " what really happened," or where it really happened, or when it really happened, and nothing in it needs to be publicly verifiable, although much in it can be verified.T. Morrison, "The Site of Memory" In The Life of Reason: Reason in Science, George Santayana (1932, 45) observed that: "History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be re..

The correlation between immigrants and parasites is a common theme in political discourse. The nation-state assumes the role of a living organism that allows the entrance of an alien, a guest of sorts, who, in turn, endangers the wellbeing of the host. Such is the initial vision of the migrant woman in Helena Maria Viramontes’ “The Cariboo Café” (1995). Drawing from Michel Serres, Jaques Derrida and Mireille Rosello, this article analyses the story from the perspective of the hospitality framework. The figure of the parasite appears as a liminal figure that establishes a symbiotic relationship with the host both on the social and the linguistic levels. As a disturber of peace and order, the parasite disrupts the traditional relations with the abused guest. In the story, the café owner’s gatekeeping activities, both linguistic and ideological, become suspended. The opposition between host/guest-parasite, legal/illegal, inside/outside opens to an infinite range of possibilities betwee...
