Awareness of oneself and of the world under the processes of transcultural mobility: a reading of the memorial novel Solo queda saltar (2018), by María Rosa Lojo

Abstract

The processes of transcultural and migratory mobility refer to the displacements characterized by the deterritorialization of the individuals, of their community of origin and their subsequent insertion into a new cultural community. According to Bernd (2013), such movements engender instability in the geopolitical, ethnic, social and gender frontiers that force the formulation of shelters for the new cultural landscapes, which are being investigated from difference and diversity. In that process, often brutal, orbit the different identity nuances of those who need to be interstitially constituted. Thus, based on these premises, this study seeks to understand, through the analysis of the narrative Solo Queda Saltar, by María Rosa Lojo, the multiple trajectory of the self-awareness constitution and of the world, seeking to distinguish, aim and detail the formation of subjectivities constituted in a multi territorial manner, geographically and symbolically. Considering the narrative as a memorial novel, it is sought, in this way, to contribute to the understanding of the influence of the migratory processes, lived in the South Atlantic literary community in the early twentieth century and its importance in the dynamics of contemporary literary production.
