    De la esclava a la mujer antillana contemporánea: crónica literaria de una maternidad traumática
    (2016-11-18) Cremades Cano, Isaac David
    The aim of this study is to analyse the most relevant specific traits of motherhood in francophone Antilles, through the study of the evoked vision of certain female writers. The characters of their narrative allow us to verify the intimate rela- tionship that is established between the particular conception of motherhood and the slavery past in its less known dimension. Resistance, infanticide, solitude, abandonment and broken family ties, are some of the aspects related to the subject of motherhood and the search for identity that emerge from the analysed works of fiction. Indeed, the mentioned aspects of the family structure, the position of women in relation to motherhood and the inherent complexities to the Antilles' society, to its past and its evolution, become a major source of female inspiration and differentiation.

    La escritura epistolar entre pasado y presente: "Habitaciones cerradas" de Care Santos.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Tosolini, Giulia
    The article focuses on how letters, mails and self-writing are used in the fragmented narrative scheme of Habitaciones cerradas (2011) by Care Santos. The novel is a family saga developing two parallel plots, jumping around space and time in order to keep the reader attentive and to return the structure of memories, while offering useful details to solve the mystery that narration develops.
