La escritora mexicana Cecilia Eudave (1968) posee una obra sólida expuesta en ensayos, novelas, cuentos y microrrelatos. Estos últimos se encuentran principalmente en Para viajeros improbables (2011) y Microcolapsos (2017). De acuerdo con varios teóricos como David Roas, estos textos de Cecilia Eudave poseen las cualidades de la narratividad y brevedad, apoyados por rasgos formales (tramas sencillas, personajes con escasa descripción, espacio reducido o ausente, tiempo abreviado mediante la elipsis, pocos diálogos, final sorpresivo, títulos significativos y experimentación lingüística) y rasgos temáticos (intertextualidad e intención crítica). El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las características discursivas, formales y temáticas de los microrrelatos de Eudave que confluyen en su propuesta estética; en ese sentido, al final nos enfocaremos en siete de sus mejores microrrelatos: «Vendas», «Hormigas», «La mascota imaginaria», «Cocodrilocabezas», «La amante del té», «Laberinto» y «De natura», los cuales devienen fantásticos, género al que la autora ha dedicado espléndidas páginas.

An aspect of the work of Amparo Davila (Mexico 1928-2020) that has not been much studied is that which has to do with food horror, the representation of food as a source of abjection and terror. Amparo Davila's first book Tiempo destrozado (1959) includes two short stories in which food and the kitchen are codified in a gothic register: «Alta cocina» and the homonymous story «Tiempo destrozado». In these stories, food becomes strange and repulsive, undergoes disturbing metamorphoses and generates intellectual uncertainty about its nature. In this work I will focus on «Alta cocina», which is the text where the experience of gastronomic horror is most developed, to investigate the way in which the short story complicates the boundary between the human and the animal and calls into question the civilization /barbarism binary concept. Also, I will analyze the way in which a space historically associated with women such as the kitchen appears as dark, sinister and threatening.

First, her poetic attitude: the way she builds her universes by using non-mimetic genres, her relationship with language and its creative premises.

Of the many studies that address the contribution Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) made to feminism, hardly any consider the topic of the double beyond its classification as a symptom of mental disorder. This article looks into the treatment of feminine identity through the use of the double. Jourde and Tortonese’s approach (1996) allows for an essential distinction by proposing an interesting gender feature: the splitting of feminine characters usually takes place through external or objective Doppelganger. The subjective double is almost never embodied by women. The feminine subjective double is thus moved away from the canonical discourse on the exploration of modern identity. Therefore, the literary device is charged with the task of examining and producing its own identity: its voice cannot speak for the entirety of human concerns, only for itself as a woman.

In the following pages, we will try to track the presence of some features found in Amparo Davila´s stories (1928-2020) in the works of three Mexican writers: Cristina Rivera Garza (1964), Cecilia Eudave (1968) and Guadalupe Nettel (1973). First, we will consider the different opinions that some contemporary Mexican writers have about the Zacatean author and what is especially remarkable about her writing. Then we will explore the peculiar use that Amparo Davila made of the fantastic genre and its different themes and how that was a crucial influence on the works that we are to deal with in this essay. The Davilian legacy is expressed in many different ways, as we are to analyse, in La cresta de Ilion (2002) by Rivera Garza, in Eudave's short stories and also in her novella Bestiaria vida (2008) and El huesped by Nettel (2006) All three of them try to grasp Davila's use of ambiguity, her unique atmospheres, the hibridity of her discourse, and some recurring issues in Fantasy, such as the doppelganger and the idea of diversity whe it comes to tackle identity.
