Descrição
Resumo:Distancia de rescate (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, the novella at the core of this analysis, is a paradigmatic example in which several representative aspects of contemporary maternity discourses converge. In this article, I examine how the ambivalent mother-child bond is built and problematized in the context of the Argentine countryside in the twenty-first century. Moreover, and from a pathological perspective, I analyze the obsessive maternal behavior in the toxic space that Distancia de rescate depicts, both literally and metaphorically. I interpret the ambivalence and obsession of the mother-child relationship and its normalization in contemporary literary discourse
