摘要

This article demonstrates the efficacy of analyzing Hispanic Caribbean, Latin American, and Latinx gothic econarratives through what I call the Americas Ecogothic—cultural productions uniting the monstrosity central to the Gothic with the erasure central to econarrative. The essay analyzes significant convergences of two seemingly disparate texts, Alejandro Morales’s The Rag Doll Plagues (1992) and Rita Indiana’s La mucama de Omicunlé (2015) / Tentacle (trans. Obejas, 2019). Drawing on decolonial ecology, material feminism, narrative theory, and queer ecology, I show how the Americas Ecogothic produces generative readings of Hispanic Caribbean, US Latinx, and Latin American econarrative. The analysis here is drawn from my book project, currently titled Ecologies of Erasure: Latinx Diasporic Econarrative since 1992, which examines econarratives foregrounding erasures of the cultures, species, and topographies of the Americas.
