| dc.description | Abstract This article aims to compare and contrast the concepts of subjectivity represented in literature and constructed in borders: physical and imaginary geopolitical sites that have positioned identities in the margins throughout history. The comparative analysis examines the representation of marginal identities in literary texts, specifically those written by authors belonging to hyphenated cultures such as the Cuban-American Gustavo Pérez-Firmat (1994), “Bilingual Blues,” and Mexican-American Gloria Anzaldúa’s “La encrucijada,” among others, mentioned in the bibliography. The study shows that the portrayal of subjectivity and subalternity in literary texts contends with diverse discourses of power and hefty political structures that tend to repress and to delimit character’s development and conditions as human beings living in the United States. | en-US |
| dc.description | Resumen Este artículo procura comparar y contrastar la subjetividad representada en la literatura y construida en la frontera: locaciones geopolíticas, físicas e imaginarias que han posicionado identidades en el margen a través de la historia. El análisis comparativo examina la representación de estas identidades marginalizadas en textos literarios específicamente aquellos escritos por autores pertenecientes a culturas marginalizadas como la Cubano-Americana, con el texto de “Bilingual Blues” de Gustavo Pérez-Firmat y “La encrucijada” de la autora Mexicana-Americana Gloria Anzaldúa, entre otros mencionados en la bibliografía. El estudio demuestra que la subjetividad y la subalternidad representadas en los textos contienden con diversos discursos de poder y estructuras políticas que tienden a reprimir y a delimitar el desarrollo de los personajes y su condición como seres humanos que viven en los Estados Unidos. | es-ES |
