Cuevas, heterotopía, Victoriana, Neo-Victoriana, Sonia Overall, Essie Fox, GVAResumen
Descubrimientos de cuevas naturales coparon las páginas de la prensa del siglo diecinueve a la vez que se inauguraban grutas y cuevas artificiales para el entretenimiento de una sociedad que era testigo de cómo éstas se convertían en lugares comunes entre los productos culturales y literarios de su tiempo. En este artículo, analizamos la apropiación neo-victoriana de grutas y cuevas del siglo XIX como heterotopías foucauldianas a través de dos estudios de caso: The Realm of Shells (2006) de Sonia Overall y Elijah’s Mermaid (2012) de Essie Fox. Las dos novelas ilustran cómo los rasgos heterotópicos de la cueva victoriana son expandidos en la ficción neo-victoriana como contra-emplazamientos que permiten formas de resistencia heterocrónica.
