MORA, Edith. Nomadic bodies, prostheses and traces of women on the border: stories by Elia Hatfield and Elpidia García Delgado. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.1, pp.73-96.  Epub 28-Set-2023. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.058.

This article presentes the analysis of several stories by Mexian writers Elia Hatfield and Elpidia García Delgado, included in the books Por los caminos del norte: relatos de mujeres de la frontera and Ellos saben si soy o no soy, respectively. The purpose is to review various nomadic experiences of women on the Mexican-American border from the transformation of their bodies. The effect or desire and the use of prosthesis on border displacement is specifically reviewed, firstly to interpret the configuration of creative sujectivities or resistance and, secondly, to test how this drive or desire, as well as the objetcts that shape the body, constitute traces of violence as they travel through a territory of ruins and vulnerability.
