Abstract

This paper analyses the configuration of inmigrant and transmigrant female characters in Claudia Hernández´s “La han despedido de nuevo” and Antonio Ortuño´s La fila India and observes the adaptation mechanisms, strategies and social dynamics that are used as a way of self-protection or mutual care. We propose a reading of the representation of migrant women as complex, active, provided with agency and transgressive subjects as a way of counter the imaginaries consolidated by previous narratives where the female subjects have not had the leading role in its representation or study.
