espanolTal y como sostiene Manuel Castells, la actual era global se caracteriza por una tension dialectica entre una vision globalista del espacio como un ente sin limites (“espacio de los flujos”) y una concepcion esencialista que presenta el espacio como un ente dividido en partes claramente delimitadas (“espacio de los lugares”). Julia Alvarez retrata estas visiones antagonicas en su novela Return to Sender (2009), que ofrece la doble perspectiva de una nina inmigrante mexicana y un nino estadounidense que tratan de definir su propia identidad en un contexto global. Este articulo pretende analizar como estos personajes negocian tal paradoja, prestando especial atencion a sus dilemas de identidad y a las estrategias empleadas para resolverlos. EnglishAccording to Manuel Castells, the present global era is characterized by a dialectical tension between a globalist imagination of unbounded space (“space of flows”) and an essentialist conception of space as ruptured and divided into bounded entities (“space of places”). These conflicting tendencies are depicted in Julia Alvarez’s Return to Sender(2009), which is told from the dual perspectives of a Mexican immigrant girl and an American boy who struggle for self-definition in a global context. The present paper aims at analyzing how both children navigate through this paradox, focusing on their dilemmas of identity and belonging and the strategies devised to overcome them.
