Resumo: While the term Latin@ is untraceable to any coherent referent in terms of geographical or epistemic origin (Rodríguez 2014), still it denotes a very stable referent when it comes to geographical destination — the USA being the central migratory destiny shaped by and shaping identity shifts and epistemic positions variously associated with Latin America. As much as this narrative determinacy is the effect of global power asymmetries, it also tends to naturalize them by couching migration in evolutionist terms that anachronize struggles against displacement, deterritorialization, and dispossession. The field of Latin@ literature and criticism therefore becomes an effective locus from which the ongoing historical conflicts elided by those narratives can be creatively recalled and reconfigured. This essay reflects on the temporal borderlands as a critical paradigm for reconfiguring narratives of straight temporality within Latin@ texts.

This essay reflects on the temporal borderlands as a critical paradigm for reconfiguring narratives of straight temporality within Latin@ texts.Embora o termo Latin@ não possa ser rastreado por qualquer referente coerente em termos de origem geográfica ou epistêmica (Rodríguez, 2014), ainda denota um referente muito estável quando se trata de destino geográfico - sendo os EUA o destino migratório central, modelado por e modelando deslocamentos identitários e posições epistêmicas diversas associadas à América Latina. Por mais que esta determinidade narrativa seja o efeito das assimetrias de poder globais, ela tende também a naturalizá-las por meio da migração em termos evolucionistas que anacronizam as lutas contra o deslocamento, a desterritorialização e o desapossamento. O campo da literatura latin@ e da crítica torna-se, portanto, um lugar efetivo a partir do qual os conflitos históricos em curso elididos por essas narrativas podem ser criativamente lembrados e reconfigurados. Este artigo reflete sobre as fronteiras temporais como um paradigma crítico para reconfigurar narrativas de temporalidade direta na escrita Latin@.UFSC2017-01-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionQueer Temporalityapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n1p3910.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n1p39Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 1 (2017); 39-50Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 1 (2017); 39-502175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n1p39/33484Copyright (c) 2017 Eliana de Souza Avilainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAvila, Eliana de Souza2019-01-25T09:06:15Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/45476Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-01-25T09:06:15Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
