Violent Effects: Domestic Violence And Poetic Subversive Discourses, Roberta Hurtado

Diálogo

Processes of sociosexual geo-racialization consistently render Latinas in the U.S. vulnerable to domestic abuse. Engaging this issue, third space feminists have adapted testimonio as a means for exposing domestic abuse while striving to craft transformative discourses that humanize these women’s experiences of oppression. The dusmic nature of poetry, as defined by Nuyorican poets, lends itself to this task. “Violent Effects” synthesizes poetry’s dusmic nature with third space feminists’ development of testimoniando—or testimonio as an agentic process—to identify how María Luisa Arroyo’s poetry exposes, dignifies and humanizes survivors’ experiences of domestic violence and thereby subverts dehumanization’s violent effects.

De Las Voces Indígenas Al Danzante Viajero: Algunas Reflexiones En Torno A La Obra Poética De Astrid Fugellie Y Diana Bellessi, Zulema Moret

Diálogo

A comparative study of how myth, history and women’s voices function in the poetry of two South American poets, Astrid Fugellie (Chile) and Diana Bellessi (Argentina). Fugellie’s poems reveal a history that is oriented from feminine, indigenous and myth-centered ideas, while Bellessi’s poetic voice constructs a cultural utopia, mapping native American (continental) presence. In each case, the poets allude to a voice that gives form to myth, and in so doing, establishing close contact with nature. From Indigenous female voices fixed on regional landscapes in Fugellie to the fleeting dancer in Bellessi, two nearly opposite movements configure and found Latin …

Laboring Histories: The "Reconciliation" Of Maternity In The Poetry Of Laurie Ann Guerrero, Larissa M. Mercado-López

Diálogo

Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of “facultad,” this study of poetry by Laurie Ann Guerrero identifies an emergent “maternal facultad,” a consciousness honed through the bodily and social experiences of mestiza maternity. Guerrero’s poems, “Babies Under the Skin” and “Reconciliation,” reveal how such consciousness is ignited through the mother’s body; her transformed body and subjectivity implicate her in multiple histories and violences of colonization and the medical/birthing industry. This study argues for the need for mothers to continue writing their bodies—to speak the “mess” of the body and of mother-work—creating an epistemically fertile site of knowledge production.

"Para Romper Con Todo": Transgresiones Y Rupturas Del Movimiento Kloaka En Los Poemas Inaugurales De Mariela Dreyfus, Mary Soto Y Dalmacia Ruiz-Rosas, Rocío Ferreira

Diálogo

A study of the counterculture collective Movimiento Kloaka in Peru in the early 1980s, for its ideological thought and creative production, through the work of Peruvian poets Mariela Dreyfus, Mary Soto and Dalmacia Ruiz-Rosas. Their poems were published in literary-cultural magazines during the movement’s boom, and reveal personal and transgressive voices where violence, sex, desire and the rejection of the bourgeois patriarchal system are present. The poets’ social approach frames crude experiences and realities that allow the authors to question the place assigned to women, while transforming the poetic tradition.

Nepantleras Del Siglo Xx Al Siglo Xxi: Travesías De Poesía De Chicanas En Español, María Del Socorro Gutiérrez Magallanes

Diálogo

This text discusses three poems in Spanish translation by three Chicana writers who call themselves Nepantleras: Gloria Anzaldúa, Lucha Corpi and Cherríe Moraga. These poets are emblematic of the late twentieth century, and essential reading for the twenty-first century. Chicana poetry and scholarship crosses borders, between Mexico and the United States, and the U.S. and the world. Examined through theorist Gloria Anzaldúa’s ideas, based in Indigenous American cosmology of nepantlear—shifting, translating, negotiating, transforming and creating a new space denominated “in-between”—the poets cross borders, languages, seas, rivers and check points to depict contemporary experience. Also considered is Chela Sandoval’s “hermeneutics of …

Frenesí: Estructuras De Espacio, Origen Y Nacionalidad En Cuando Amaban Las Tierras Comuneras De Pedro Mir, Rey Andújar

Diálogo

Pedro Mir has been recognized as the National Poet of the Dominican Republic. In 1978, however, he ventured outside poetry to publish a novel, Cuando amaban las tierras comuneras, which placed him in the middle of a new, narrative avant-garde movement, and establishing himself as one of the most important poetic voices in Latin America. This essay studies the novel’s structural spaces—earth, ground, land and the spoken word—for his reconfiguration of the Dominican archetype in history; its characters; and the idea or concept of nación within the frame of U.S. occupations of the Dominican Republic.

The Poetics Of Silence: (Re)Memory Through Poetry Of The Mexican Diaspora, Lauren Espinoza

Diálogo

A close reading of poems by Eduardo Corral, Laurie Ann Guerrero and Lorna Dee Cervantes to identify distinct possibilities for silences in the poetry of the Mexican diaspora: adopting, enforcing, and, ultimately, straddling both. Silence is unique to the language of poetry—as relative to a story, a poem is silent because it does not have the words a story does. Poetry, then, functions as (re)memory, a vehicle moving towards creation within the menacing silence of the (re)inscription of the border.
