The recent works by two Latin American authors, Luisa Futoransky (Argentina) and Marta Aponte Alsina (Puerto Rico) that I study in this article, are good examples of what I call ‘texts in transit'. The intrinsic mobility in their propositions implies the globalized world and the interrelation between the local and global expressions: the glocality. The concept of the glocal is the transmodern summation and transformation of the modernist ‘global’ and the postmodernist ‘local’.
The purpose of this article is to explore the transmodern gestures in these works following the postulates of the philosophers Rosa María Rodríguez Magda (Spain) and Enrique Dussel (Argentina) about Transmodernidad. I analyze how the writings of these two women authors, transcend the limits of modernity, surpass the nihilism of postmodernity, and allude to a literary world in constant flux, where the interregnum of the transmodernity works as a type of glocalized encounter of the Spanish American expression and the global literary world.
