This study analyzes the literary representations of motherhood, present in Empty Houses, by Brenda Navarro, observing the construction of maternal subjectivities that complicate the figure of the mother, in relation to the children. In this area, the violence through which these maternity wards are carried out acquires a leading role, by revisiting the discussion around motherhood and childhood. In addition to considering the political conditions of a Mexico that seeks to blur the boundaries between vertigo and sanity, through its two maternal characters. For the rest, this work questions feminism and its links with motherhood, focusing on Latin American culture and its universal and individual problems.

Este estudio analiza las representaciones literarias de la maternidad, presentes en Casas vacías, de Brenda Navarro, observando la construcción de subjetividades maternales que complejizan la figura de la madre, en relación a los/las hijos/as. En este ámbito, la violencia mediante la cual se desenvuelven estas maternidades, adquiere un rol protagónico, al revisitar la discusión en torno al maternazgo y la infancia. Además de considerar las condiciones políticas de un México que pretende difuminar los límites entre vértigo y cordura, a través de sus dos personajes maternos. Por lo demás, este trabajo interroga al feminismo y sus vínculos con la maternidad, enfocándose en la cultura latinoamericana y en sus problemáticas universales e individuales.
