Dicho análisis permitirá mostrar cómo el diseño de la protagonista y su característica principal, la locura, así como la estructura fragmentada de la novela, las diferentes voces narrativas y el juego intertextual, permiten una lectura crítica y feminista de la literatura cubana y caribeña. La locura de la protagonista, además, se puede ver como la expresión de un desorden social y un mundo fracturado, que en este caso coincide con la realidad cubana de las décadas de los 90 y los 2000, años de profunda crisis económica tras la caída de la Unión Soviética y el campo socialista, y como una reacción de búsqueda de agencia intelectual femenina frente a una sociedad machista.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This essay analyzes the novel Desde los blancos manicomios, by Cuban author Margarita Mateo Palmer, using some scientific concepts, such as Ilya Prigogine&#8217;s dissipative structures, entropy, and Benoit Mandelbrot&#8217;s fractals. This analysis will show how the protagonist&#8217;s main characteristic, its madness, as well as the fragmented structure of the novel, the different narrative voices and the intertextual play, allow a critical and feminist reading of Cuban and Caribbean literature. In addition to that, the protagonist&#8217;s madness can be interpreted as an expression of a social disorder and a fractured world. That fractured world coincides in the novel with the Cuban reality of the 90s and the 2000s, years of a profound economic crisis after the fall of the Soviet Union and the socialist bloc. Finally, the essay will argue that the novel can be read as a reaction of the protagonist to search its feminine intellectual agency, in order to confront a normalizing and chauvinistic society.]]></p></abstract>
