Abstract

Based on the stories "Abel" (2013), "La incompleta" (2015) and "La esperada" (2019), by the Costa Rican writer Anacristina Rossi, this article explores the ways in which this narrative trilogy draws from science fiction to reconfigure the notions of identity, nature, and what it means to be human. Drawing on the theories of ecocriticism, postcolonial ecocriticism, and ecofeminism, Rossi's discursive strategies to interconnect anthropocenic concerns about the sustainability of civilization with the idea of the end of the world and a new genesis are analyzed to unravel her critique against all systems of domination that prevail today: patriarchal, economic, colonial, racial, and gendered.
