| Sumario: | The journey motif is a feature of interest in the representation of women in Caribbean literature. They travel across geographical and symbolic borders demarcated by social classes, racial constructions, and national origins in pursuit of their desire like funambulists.
We found a certain distance between the classical idea of the journey due to the wandering concept, a form of displacement without a definite course of events, led by the only certainty of a fatal end, which results from challenging the traditional historiographic syntax linked to agonistic and patriarchal values. Wandering is proposed as a way of living and being, as a difference and alternative possibility to linear time and its discursive methods. Static geographies disrupted through deterritorialization show a context that transcends national frontiers on a gradual search and construction of identities. |
