Previous issue date: 2014-06-02 / This master s thesis aims at investigating the way in which diasporic subjects in the novel
How the Garc?a Girls Lost their Accents (1992) cope with the clash of two cultures the
Caribbean one, from the Dominican Republic, and the North-American one, from the U.S., as
well as the implications of such negotiations in the lives of immigrants, once it apparently
depicts the plight of those who are torn between mother-lands and mother-tongues (IYER,
1993, 46). At the same time, the implications of such negotiations in the lives of immigrants
are relevant issues in the writing of Julia Alvarez. For this, there is the analysis of the uses of
family memories as one of the main strategies immigrant writers possess to recall their
identities. Moreover, this thesis will also consider the language issue for the construction of
the immigrant identity insofar as bilingualism is a key factor in the negotiation the Garc?a
girls must effect between their Caribbean and their American halves in order to understand
where they stand in the contemporary world. In order to build a theoretical framework that
supports this master s thesis, we list the works of Homi K. Bhabha (1990, 1996, 2003, 2005),
Stuart Hall (2001, 2003), Julia Kristeva (1994), Salman Rushdie (1990, 1994), Sonia Torres
(2001, 2003) among other contributions that were crucial to the completion of this academic
research / A presente disserta??o objetiva investigar a maneira em que sujeitos diasp?ricos ficcionais da
obra How the Garc?a Girls Lost their Accents (1992), de Julia Alvarez (1950 ), negociam o
embate entre duas culturas a caribenha, oriunda da Rep?blica Dominicana, no Caribe, e a
estadunidense, proveniente dos Estados Unidos da Am?rica, j? que aparentemente espelha a
dor daqueles que se encontram divididos entre terras natais e l?nguas maternas (IYER, 1993,
p. 46). As implica??es desta negocia??o na vida do imigrante s?o quest?es relevantes na
escrita de Alvarez. A autora leva em considera??o o uso das mem?rias da esfera familiar
como uma das estrat?gias essenciais empregadas por escritores imigrantes para rememorar
sua(s) identidade(s). A signific?ncia da escrita das reminisc?ncias do ?mbito familiar ?
observada como um meio de apresentar a coletividade da escrita imigrante e, mais importante,
como um meio que escritores imigrantes de diferentes lugares usam para se sentirem
conectados uns com os outros. Do mesmo modo, leva-se tamb?m em considera??o a quest?o
da l?ngua na constru??o da identidade imigrante para buscar entender onde as irm?s Garc?a se
posicionam no mundo contempor?neo, visto que o bilinguismo ? um fator chave na
negocia??o que agencia entre suas por??es caribenha e estadunidense. Dentre os autores
estudados, citamos Homi K. Bhabha (1990, 1996, 2003, 2005), Stuart Hall (2001, 2003), Julia
Kristeva (1994), Salman Rushdie (1990, 1994), Sonia Torres (2001, 2003) e outras
contribui??es que foram imprescind?veis para a finaliza??o desta pesquisa
