dc.description.abstract[eng] Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street (1984) tells the story of Esperanza, a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. By means of constructing the notion of “house” and “home”, Cisneros will show “how crucial it is for Esperanza to have a physical and metaphorical house of her own dreams” (Betz, 2019, p.32) in order to construct Esperanza’s sense of identity and belonging, which will be pivotal for the character’s emancipation and empowering. Therefore, this end-of-degree paper focuses on the question of space represented by “house” and “home” in Cisneros’ novel, and how the “house” in The House on Mango Street is representative of an identity; in other words, how space and identity are dependent upon each other.ca
dc.description.abstract[cat] The House on Mango Street (1984), la segona obra publicada de Sandra Cisneros, explica la història de l’Esperanza, una jove Latina que creix a la ciutat de Chicago, inventant-se en qui i què es convertirà. Construint la noció de “casa” i “llar”, Cisneros ens ensenyarà “com de crucial és per l’Esperanza tenir la casa física i metafòrica dels seus somnis”1 (Betz, 2019, p.32) per tal de construir el sentit d’identitat i pertinença de l’Esperanza, els quals seran essencials per l’emancipació i apoderament de la protagonista. Així, aquest treball se centra en la qüestió de l’espai, representat per la casa i la llar a la novel·la de Cisneros, i en com la “casa” a The House on Mango Street és representativa d’una identitat; en altres paraules, com espai i identitat són dependents l’un de l’altre.ca
