Abstract

Bu makale, Mango Sokağı’ndaki Ev ve Sınır Bölgeleri/ Hudut: Yeni Melez Kadın’da, Meksika ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri arasında, bireyleri dil, kültür, cinsiyet, cinsel yönelim, etnik köken ve sınıfsal meseleler yüzünde ayırıştan fiziksel ve psikolojik sınır bölgelerinde ikamet eden Meksikalı Amerikalı kadınların kendi kimliklerini nasıl inşa ettiklerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Entelektüel ve ruhani yolculuklarının sonunda kendilerini nasıl gerçekleştirdikleri de makalede ayrıca sunulmuştur. Mango Sokağı’ndaki Ev ve Sınır Bölgeleri/ Hudut: Yeni Melez Kadın, Meksika ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri arasındaki fiziksel ve psikolojik sınır bölgesindeki kargaşa ve mücadeleye odaklanan ve bireylerin sosyal ve ekonomik durumlarını ortaya koyan sınır yazınının en iyi iki örneğidir. Sınır bölgesinin sakinleri yasadışı göçü, ekonomik eşitsizliği, sosyal ve ekonomik çalkantıyı, aidiyetsizlik hissini ve hayal kırıklığını tecrübe eder. Melez bir kimlikleri vardır ve İngilizce ve İspanyolca karşımı melez bir dil kullanırlar. Bu makale erkek egemen zulmü ve eve hapsedilmeyi, Amerika’nın Meksika karşısındaki ideolojik hâkimiyetini ve iki romandaki onurlu bir yaşam arayışını ele alır. Dolasıyla, bu çalışma Mango Sokağındaki Ev’in karakterlerinin yaşamlarını ve güdülerini, kadınlığa geçiş arifesinde olan başkahraman Esperenza’nın bakış açısından ve Sınır Bölgeleri/ Hudut: Yeni Melez Kadın’ındaki başkahraman yazar Gloria Anzaldua’nın kendi kimlik karmaşasını irdeler.

Chicana experience on Borderlands in Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street and Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza

Abstract

This paper aims to suggest how Chicanas in The House on Mango Street and in Borderland/La Frontera: New Mestiza construct their own identity on the physical and psychological borderland between Mexico and The States segregating and separating individuals because of language, culture, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and class. How they achieve their self-fulfillment at the end of their odyssey is also presented in this paper. The House on Mango Street and Borderlands/La Frontera New Mestiza are the epitomes of border writing dwelling on the tumult and challenges of physical and psychological borderland between the States and Mexico and explaining the social and economic conditions of the subjects. Borderland dwellers experience illegal migration, economic disparity, social and financial unrest, sense of displacement and frustration. They have hybrid identities and use hybrid language of English and Spanish. This paper discusses male oppression and domestication, American ideological dominance over Mexico and a quest for a dignified life in both novels. Therefore, this study scrutinizes the lives and the motives of the characters in The House on Mango Street from the perspective of its female protagonist, Esperenza who is on the threshold of womanhood and the identity confusion of protagonist writer, Gloria Anzaldua herself in Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza.
