GOMEZ O, Cristián. POST-MEXICANS: MÓNICA DE LA TORRE AND ROMAN LUJÁN AS BORDER POETS. Acta lit. [online]. 2014, n.49, pp.87-103. ISSN 0717-6848.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-68482014000200005.

This essay wants to explore what Mexican essayist and public figure Roger Bartra calls Post-mexican condition. According to Bartra, Mexican nationalism faces an insurmountable challenge in globalization and the Free Trade Agreement with Canada and USA (NAFTA). The turn-of-the-century of its political life and the new atmosphere brought by postmodernity, allowed Bartra to devise a concept such as post-mexicanity, a totally diverting idea from traditional Mexican nationalism. We intend to explore traces of this new kind of identity in authors like Mónica de La Torre and Roman Luján, together with a criticism of Bartra's concept due to its exclusions and limited scope.

Palabras clave : Mexican Poetry; border; transnationalty; post-nationalism.
