الملخص:Literary tradition accounts for the multiple metaphorical uses articulated in relation to remedies and poisons. 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.
