body, catastrophe, biopolitics, stories of the end, disruptionsAbstract
The following article proposes to articulate a theoretical-critical reflection about the novel La Mucama de Omicunlé (2015) from the Dominican writer Rita Indiana Hernández focused on the connections that are formulated between disaster and body. In relation to these connections, we are specifically interested in investigate and problematize those dislocations that the novel operates when exposing the bodies to atypical and disruptive story of the end.
