El andar de las hormigas: Memoria, espacio y cuerpo en El invencible verano de Liliana de Cristina Rivera Garza = The gait of the ants: Memory, space and body in El invencible verano de Liliana by Cristina Rivera Garza

This article sets out to reflect on the intersection that Cristina Rivera Garza establishes between the excavation of memory, the vicissitudes of the body and the rearticulation of diverse spaces. In El invencible verano de Liliana (2021) body and memory work continuously between spatial cracks—Mexico City, Liliana’s apartment, the university, or the swimming pool—, to vertebrate, simultaneously, the textual or archival space. This is how this memory-body-text operation contributes to interpret and re-signify the diverse spaces that are revisited by the narrator to reconstruct Liliana’s life.
