Sumario:This article analyzes the representations of natural phenomena such as hurricanes and earthquakes in the notebook Que tiemble by Puerto Rican author Ana Portnoy, published by La Impresora in 2023, and how these events are reinterpreted as opportunities for collective resistance in a society marginalized by systemic colonialism. Drawing from Raúl Zibechi's concept of “metaphors of chaotic transitions”, Josefina Ludmer's notion of “the performative as profanation”, and Henri Lefebvre's ideas on public and private spaces, I explore how Portnoy redefines the movements of nature as tools for collective action and political change, emphasizing community networks and acts of solidarity.
