Sugerimos el término ‘ noir fronterizo’ para definir esta o…
A Posthuman Approach to BrexLit and Bordering Practices through an Analysis of John Lanchester’s The Wall
Kristen Sandrock (2020) connects John Lanchester’s 2019 Brexit novel The Wall with what she refers to as ‘British border epistemologies’; that is, a radical process of re-bordering due to global warming and its impact on human mobility. The literary phenomenon that is now referred to as ‘BrexLit’ bears witness to the way in which borders and the fear to the other seem to impinge on contemporary British fiction. BrexLit is framed by an increasing …

Narratives of the new diasporas: A theoretical approach
This introduction offers a survey of Border Studies and Diaspora Theory to contextualize the ways in which contemporary fictions of migration in the 21st century have reinterpreted classic paradigms. Literature has played a paramount role in illustrating many of the challenges of narrating the experience of migration. This role is the motivation for this Special Issue as it examines the literary mechanisms that engage with current social, economi…
Get Back: The New Galician Diaspora Goes on Stage
This article analyses Get Back (2016), a play written by Diego Ameixeiras and directed by Jorge Coira. The text will be considered an example of an early Brexit narrative, and it will serve to explore how the new Galician diaspora is represented through the arts. Issues related to migration, racism, and precariousness bloom naturally from a play that gathers four Galician migrants in London, together with a British-born character, inside one of t…

Infrarealist Journalism of Mexican Female Authors: Information Meets Literature in The Sorrows of Mexico
This article explores the nature of ‘infrarealist journalism’ through the contributions of female journalists to The Sorrows of Mexico (2016). Terms such as ‘subalternity’, ‘historiographic metafiction’, ‘brutal realism’ and ‘grassroots activism’ emerge naturally from this anthology of short stories and testimonies. The texts under analysis illustrate the state of emergency in which Mexico seems to be trapped due to the increase of violent crimes…
Marvellous realism and female representation from the Caribbean diaspora
This paper argues that David Chariandy’s Soucouyant and Edwidge Danticat’s “Nineteen Thirty-Seven” utilize marvellous realism as a literary technique when representing Caribbean folkloric elements from the diaspora. With this in mind, this article will begin by pointing out the differences between the terms magical realism and marvellous realism within the Latin American Boom writing of the 1950s. These two literary concepts should not be conside…
Religious focalisation in dictionaries: A comparative case study between English and Spanish
The aim of this article is to expose the various strategies which are used by two of the most important dictionaries in the English and Spanish contexts, the Oxford English Dictionary and the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, to focalise religious discourse in the main body of the definitions appearing in each dictionary. A theoretical framework on ideology and the dictionary will serve as the starting point from which to analyse these st…
