Ultra-Contemporary Postcolonial Literature by Women in English: The Period of Return
Keywords:
Postcolonial Literature, Resistance-Assimilation-Return, Ultracontemporary, Postcolonial AnxietyAbstract
This work is framed into our theoretical proposal on postcolonial literature by women in english, in which we consider three periods: resistance, assimilation and return, each with their own characteristics and analytical features. In that sense, we see the second decade of XIX century as changing dramatically the look upon vernacular cultures and upon The Other, as well as on the construction of identity within postcolonial literature by some authors. Thus, in the literature we name as ultra-contemporary, that is to say, the one starting in 2013 and that we consider the third period in this kind of literature, we find the lines of return and of postcolonial anxiety. Therefore, this work will postulate that postcolonial ultra-contemporary literature by women will have to do with return and with the look for identity both at an individual and collective level.
