Living Laboratories: Remapping the Legacy of Experiments in American Empire
No full textLiving Laboratories traces the gendered racialization of U.S. empire’s colonial expansion from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century, as well as women of color feminist texts of the late-twentieth century that reframe these legacies for our present. Each chapter focuses on what I call a “living laboratory,” a transnational site of state-sanctioned medical experimentation on populations regarded as bearers of disease. By examining the laws that precede invasive public health measures, I show how these living laboratories within and beyond the United States' national territorial borders circulate interconnected regimes of control. Central to my genealogical remapping of experiments in American empire are the narrated experiences of those not fully recognizable in the annals of history. By reading multi-genre literary works in relation to the juridical and scientific archive, Living Laboratories recovers agential subjects through an alternative grid of intelligibility. In doing so, I emphasize the distinctly embodied subjectivities that emerge from wounded flesh, pursuing a critique of what it means to be human from the literally and figuratively dismembered perspectives of writers Gayl Jones, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Aurora Levíns Morales

From My Home to Yours, From Your Home to Mine
No full text"From My Home to Yours, From Your Home to Mine" is a meditation about the relationship between the authors of the piece as women of color in academia. Using U.S. Third World Women of Color feminisms as their starting point, the authors bridge their similarities and differences to elucidate the personal and the political simultaneously. Through multiple forms of speaking and listening, they create a synergistic affect that actively engages the reader in a healing and necessarily painful journey of individual and collective transformation
El Superrealismo De Tala, De Gabriela Mistral
No full textEl presente trabajo tiene como antecedente una publicación del mismo autor (Matrimonio de sol y cordillera, 1988), en la cual se buscó dilucidar la presencia de superrealismo en los poemas "Sol del trópico" y "Cordillera" del libro Tala, de Gabriela Mistral. La presencia de elementos superrealistas en las diversas secciones de este volumen mistraliano es abundante y, esta vez, se ha procurado deslindar algunos de estos elementos con cierta atención en estas otras unidades del libro.
In a previous publication of the author ("Matrimonio de Sol y Cordillera" (A Marriage of Sun and Mountain) 1988), there is a attempt to elucidate that "super-realism" found in "Sol del Trópico" (Tropic Sun), and "Cordillera" (Mountain), two poems included in Gabriela Mistral's "Tala". The following essay goes over the same idea of the abundant presence of super-realistic elements in many sections of the aforesaid volume, but this time the author tries to higlight some of these elements in some other sections of the book
