Abstract

Abstract:

Through the trajectories of Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Alice Rahon, this article examines the ways in which surrealist artists exiled in Mexico reconfigured their relationship with language when confronted with alterity and displacement. Between creative resistance and resilience, exile paradoxically opens a space for linguistic and identity reinvention, allowing for the emergence of fluid and unruly —nomadic— forms of writing at the crossroads of languages and cultures.

Keywords: Language, languages, exile, Mexico, women surrealists, nomadism.
