Trigo Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9781403964694, 1403964696 eText ISBN: 9781403983381, 1403983380 Copyright year: 2006 Format: PDF Available from $ 89.00 USD SKU 9781403983381 Remembering Maternal Bodies is a collection of essays about the writings of several Latina and Latin American women writers who remember their mothers, and/or challenge our commonly held beliefs about motherhood and maternity, in an effort to stop depression and melancholy. It suggests that the widespread violent depression and sometimes suicidal melancholy that haunts our culture and society is the result of a terrible fantasy about the way we become ourselves. This fantasy has a matricide at its core, and this matricide will continue to have its depressing effect on us as long as it remains in place and invisible. The authors showcased in this book make visible this fantasy and change it in their works in an effort to bring us out of our depression and melancholy. Additional ISBNs 9781349999675, 1349999679
