abstract = {Abstract: We live in a world where we increasingly witness the crossing of borders by large populations. People are forced by different, often traumatic circumstances, to leave their homes behind in search of a better world. This results in what Susan Stanford Friedman (1998) regards as a transgression of physical and symbolic borders that gives room to complex intersections leading to the creation of very diverse subjectivities. Feminist transnational literary theory aims at providing a framework of analysis for the works produced by women in what we have come to understand as the field of “Transnational Women’s Literature”. Within these grounds, this article aims at fostering critically response-able students by illustrating how or to what extent the concepts of memory and nostalgia can offer new critical insights to the literature of Antiguan-born author Jamaica Kincaid, with special emphasis placed on her process of identity formation. We will develop a feminist close reading of two of her short stories within the At the Bottom of the River  collection while we examine our position as situated critics. We will conclude by making a pedagogical proposal for the generation of response-able readings of other short stories within the gender and literature class.},
abstract = {Resumen: Vivimos en un mundo donde cada vez somos testigos de más movimientos de grandes poblaciones a través de las fronteras. Miles de personas se ven obligadas a dejar atrás sus hogares, a menudo por circunstancias traumáticas, para buscar un mundo mejor.  Esto resulta en lo que Susan Stanford Friedman (1998) denomina transgresión de fronteras físicas y simbólicas que da lugar a complejas intersecciones y diversas subjetividades. La teoría literaria transnacional feminista intenta brindar un marco de análisis para las obras escritas por mujeres en el contexto de la literatura transnacional. Sobre dichas bases, este artículo pretende fomentar la responsabilidad crítica y la crítica responsable en nuestro alumnado al ejemplificar cómo o hasta qué punto los conceptos de memoria y nostalgia pueden brindar una nueva visión crítica de la literatura de la autora Jamaica Kincaid (nacida en la isla de Antigua) centrando nuestra atención en el proceso de formación de su identidad. Desarrollaremos una lectura crítica feminista de una selección de dos cuentos cortos de la colección “At the Bottom of the River” mientras examinamos nuestra postura como sujetos críticos situados. Concluiremos con una propuesta pedagógica para crear lecturas responsables de otros cuentos dentro de la clase de género y literatura.},
