Abstract Rosario Ferré has been a self-translator since the mid-1980s. For just as long, criticism of her work has been snarled in essentialist arguments that assume that language embodies the values of the culture from which it derives and that words transmit an essence regardless of context. Following this logic, English and Spanish are systems in opposition. This essay compares “El cuento envenenado” (1986) to Ferré’s self-translation, “The Poisoned Story” (1991) in order to recast her as a bilingual writer. Using Marilyn Gaddis Rose’s concept of stereoscopic reading, the essay places two autonomous but interrelated texts in a theory-informed relationship that renders them as one textual space and captures the creative interliminality of a bilingual writer. This reading traces Ferré’s evolution as a writer from the late seventies to the nineties and beyond, when she envisioned a short story of greater inscrutability and resistance that reflected the legacy of colonialism within a Puerto Rican household.

En este artículo se presenta un enfoque general las nociones de nación y etnia bajo el prisma de las técnicas narrativas postmodernas y mayores preocupaciones ideológicas y estéticas. Más concretamente, y como el título de este artículo explicita, el principal foco de análisis singularizada en este contexto particular afectaría a gran novela puertorriqueña autora Rosario Ferré de La Casa en la Laguna (1995). A lo largo de una visión general de los temas clave de Ferré relacionados con la redefinición de la nación y etnicidad, tanto en la novela como en el resto de su obras, voy a tratar de esbozar las principales tendencias de la teoría posmodernista que han conferido una nueva perspectiva diversificada en las percepciones convencionales sobre tanto a nivel nacional y el origen étnico
