Resumen

 Este artículo interpreta el modo en que escritores transnacionales usan lo gótico para investigar los conceptos de tiempo, espacio y memoria cultural de sus ancestros que hoy pareciera extraña debido a la transterritorialización que sufren. Este legado aparece en forma de la huella que resulta de la migración diaspórica y el extrañamiento que persigue a los protagonistas de estos relatos. Este ensayo revisa las nociones de identidad cultural y la naturaleza cambiante de la narrativa diaspórica de los últimos treinta años. Intentaremos analizar algunos relatos transnacionales que llamaremos hemisféricos y que tienen similitud en el Canadá sudasiático y el Caribe por diferentes razones políticas y traumáticas, en su representación cinemática del espacio doméstico y en las fronteras físicas y psicológicas que nos encadenan a los recuerdos de nuestros antepasados.
