In this direction, the author explores the poetics of female slavery present in the novel Jonatás y Manuela (1994) by Afro-Emeraldan Luz A. Chiriboga. The novel, far from the abolitionist literature of the nineteenth century, configures a writing that delves into the psyche-body of the enslaved woman. Thus, from biopolitics and deterritorialization it analyzes the representation of the enslaved body, its misfortune and its “healing” through two figures: the “healer” and the “sorceress”, who contravene and subvert hegemonic control revealing the racial, cultural and sociohistorical tensions, which are the product of diaspora and diversity. |
