"A young woman suffers a mental breakdown because of her repressive and religious mother. A group of children is fascinated by the sudden death of a friend. A drug trafficking couple visits Paris at the same time as a psychopathic cannibal. A mysterious wave travels through a university campus, driving students to suicide. A photographer witnesses a family's surface composure shatter during a portrait session. A worker on Mars sees ghostly animals in the desert and longs for an impossible return to Earth. A plastic surgeon botches an operation and hides on a sugar cane plantation where indigenous slavery is practiced. Horror and the fantastic mark the unstable realism of Our Dead World, in which altered states of consciousness, marginalized peoples, animal bodies, and tensions between tradition and modernity are recurring themes. Liliana Colanzi's stories explore those moments when the civilized voice of the ego gives way to the buzzing of the subconscious, and repressed indigenous history destabilizes the colonial legacy still present in contemporary Latin America."--

La condamnation des mères tout autant que leur encensement semble fermer tout questionnement sur la transmission d'un féminin spécifique à la relation mère-fille. Seul demeure l'excès. Qu'est-ce qu'une mère ? Comment l'être ? Comment entrer dans ce lien qu'est le maternel ? Le maternel, ce n'est pas qu'une mère et un enfant, c'est toute une histoire. C'est aussi une généalogie convoquée avec ses mémoires, ses blessures, des temps de bonheur et un espoir d'avenir. La fabrique du maternel et la création d'une mère supposent une nécessité narcissique. Comment entendre les femmes, les mères et les filles « autrement » ? Ce livre tente de témoigner d'une recherche issue de la clinique psychanalytique et d'entendre différemment le féminin d'une femme dans ses multiples représentations.
