Resumen
A partir de discursos de la filosofía, la crítica literaria y el estudio de las emociones, se exploran las imágenes de inmigrantes, principalmente haitianas(os), en Estados Unidos. Se parte de un corpus textual que está formado por dos artículos de opinión y un cuento escritos por Edwidge Danticat: Trump Reopens an Old Wound for Haitians (2017), We Must not Forget Detained Migrant Children (2018a) y Without Inspection (2018b). Mi propuesta implica la identificación, la esquematización y el análisis de cuatro caracterizaciones que Danticat plantea alrededor de las(os) inmigrantes: a) seres vapuleados y rechazados por presidentes, centros de inmigración estadounidenses, medios de comunicación, bancos, realizadores audiovisuales, productores musicales; b) agentes y receptoras(es) de la compasión; c) individuos pobres y explotados, movidos por la necesidad de sobrevivir y no por el imperativo del rendimiento sugerido por Han (2012) para el mundo laboral contemporáneo; d) entidades invisibles e inexistentes en vida, y difuminadas en el momento de su muerte.
From discourses from philosophy, literary criticism, and the study of emotions, I explore images of immigrants, mainly Haitians, in the United States. I start from a textual corpus that is made up of two opinion articles and a story written by Edwidge Danticat: Trump Reopens an Old Wound for Haitians (2017), We Must not Forget Detained Migrant Children (2018a) y Without Inspection (2018b). My proposal involves the identification, schematization, and analysis of four characterizations that Danticat poses around immigrants: a) being beaten and rejected by presidents, US immigration centers, media, banks, filmmakers, music producers; b) agents and recipients of compassion; c) poor and exploited individuals, driven by the need to survive, and not by the imperative of performance, suggested by Han for the contemporary world of work (2012); d) invisible and non-existent entities in life, and blurred at the moment of their death.
