Memory and Identity in Lo que aprendí en la peluquería by María Fernanda Ampuero

Lo que aprendí en la peluquería (2010), by María Fernanda Ampuero, is a chronicle work in which the author constructs a physiognomy of memory and identity from her condition as a testifying migrant. This early text by Ampuero allows us to identify a conventional and traditionalist discourse of memory and identity, categories that constantly evolve throughout her narrative, since in other publications the author recomposes her gaze towards these categories by making it evident that family and collective memory are diluted as well as the rootedness to Ecuador. Thus, in this work an approach is made to the traits that characterize the author’s personal identity through various identity expressions that are integrated with memory within her chronicles. In this way, the crises, thoughts, changes,metamorphoses, misunderstandings, positionings in which the migrant subject ofthis work of analysis is inserted will be put in dialogue.
