La obra nace en el marco del proyecto Discurso institucional e imagen de la mujer: impacto comunicativo y social en Andalucía (US-1381061) y aborda la representación que se hace de la mujer en el discurso de las instituciones en el ámbito hispánico y sus implicaciones sociales. Los trabajos que la conforman abordan los niveles implicados en la producción discursiva: lingüístico, psicosocial, comunicativo y sociocultural, partiendo de la idea de que el imaginario social se crea y fija a través del discurso. Se denuncian los sesgos discriminatorios que se mantienen, dificultando el camino hacia la igualdad real y efectiva entre hombres y mujeres. Esta obra contribuye a evidenciar la necesidad de seguir investigando en las estrategias comunicativas como instrumento de cambio social.

CubaRican is a bilingual sequence of vignettes and poems based on the author's experiences growing up in Puerto Rico as a Cuban exile. Evoking childhood memories, the author explores the feelings of a boy developing an identity in a place that seems both familiar and alien. Throughout this loose chronology, parents, siblings, and childhood friends serve as symbols for the increasing sense of conflict the boy grapples with and struggles to identify. Describing both the Puerto Rican countryside and its urban grit, the maturing narrator eventually comes to grips with both sides of his Caribbean self.

US-karibische Diasporaliteraturen der 2000er-Jahre konstituieren soziale Räume als Diasporaräume. An den literarischen Raumproduktionen in Werken von Ernesto Quiñónez, Achy Obejas, Edwidge Danticat und Junot Díaz lässt sich erkennen, so eine zentrale These, wie diese Literaturen im Spagat sich selbst, ihre Verfasserinnen und Verfasser sowie ihre ethnischen Gemeinschaften zwischen den USA und der Karibik verorten. Texte wie Bodega Dreams, Days of Awe, The Dew Breaker und The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao positionieren sich über ihre Erzählräume und erzählten Räume, ihre Raumsemantik und ihre Intertextualität im Spannungsfeld von De- und Reterritorialisierung. Sie setzen sich mit der Geschichte ihrer karibischen «Herkunftsländer» (Puerto Rico, Kuba, Haiti, Dominikanische Republik) und ihrer ethnischen Gruppen in den USA auseinander. Sie verhandeln, wie diese Geschichte aus der Perspektive der Postmemoria-Generation aufzuarbeiten ist, wie diese Perspektive das «Ursprungsland» erst als erlebt-erlittenen Raum produziert und in welchem Verhältnis im Heimatland verbliebene und in der Diaspora lebende Subjekte zueinanderstehen. Die Studie erarbeitet entlang der Leitkategorien von De- und Reterritorialisierung und in Verbindung mit Henri Lefebvres phänomenologischem Raumbegriff, Erkenntnissen aus Diaspora-, Intersektionalitäts-, Kolonialitäts- und Erzählforschung einen ausdifferenzierten und vielfach anschlussfähigen theoretischen Zugang zu postkolonialen literarischen Räumen. Durch ihre kulturwissenschaftliche Fundierung in einer plurilingualen Karibikforschung und gleichzeitig romanistische Ausrichtung eröffnet die Monographie neue Perspektiven auf das Phänomen der zeitgenössischen hispanokaribischen und haitianischen ethnischen Literaturen in der USA.

The American territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are anomalies in the modern world, neither fish nor fowl, as the saying goes. Although the residents are American citizens, they have no representation in Congress and are not allowed to vote in national elections. The lesser-known British Virgin Islands are included on this double-sided map. The BVI is still a British colony, consisting of about 20 islands, capitaled in Road Town (inset included). Puerto Rico (1:190.000) is a large, rectangular island, capitaled by San Juan (inset included) and is a major cruise ship point of origin as well as being home to resort communities all over the main island. Ferries connect to outlying islands. The VI portion was purchased from Denmark in 1917 and retains a colonial European charm. There are three main islands – St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John – and the map includes inset maps of Charlotte Amalie, Cruz Bay, Christiansted, and Frederiksted. Each side of the map sheet includes a listing of top attractions. Ferry routes to the BVI are shown, as well as water connections between the islands.
