| description | The main objective of this article is to analyze the ways in which Adriana Lisboarepresents migratory dislocations and urban space inHanói(2013). In discussingliterature as a space for representation, I will argue that the spaces of migrationin Lisboa’s novel are constructed in relation to the protagonists’, Alex andDavid, reflections and memories. In this mode of representation, it is possible tonotice an emphasis on the characters’ emotions, feelings and thoughts as ameansto reflect upon the migrant’s conditions in an American metropolis. Inthis sense, Lisboa aims to convey a collective history of migration throughAlex’s and David’s individual histories. However, I will argue, there are ethicallimitations in the representation proposed by Lisboa, especially regarding theemphasis on melancholia and isolation as the main affective reactions tomigratory dislocations, since they hinder more critical reflections on the politicaland socio-economic consequences of migrationin contemporary societies. |
