My dissertation examines the use of memory as an aesthetic strategy to create an ideological space from the material conditions of a place. These spaces-barrios, borderlands, and transnational spaces-allow Latine subjects who have undergone some form of displacement to assert a secure sense of self. Furthermore, their sense of self is grounded in the personal and collective memories they associate with a place or multiple places. Latine individuals claim space for themselves by transferring their personal memories onto a place through creative forms of expression such as writing, art, and activism. The imposition of personal memory onto a shared physical space turns it into collective memory, which asserts a concrete claim to place. I argue that Latine literature and media invoke, conjure, or create place-based memories to "ground" their subjects in their environments and combat displacement. I find that migration, gentrification, and imperialism are three related forms of displacement because they all cause Latine subjects to separate from a place, which leads to a severing of the self. To counter this separation of self and space, memory grants Latine subjects the ability to juggle multiple identities and live in multiple places simultaneously. Thus, through the process of "grounding," Latine authors imagine alternative spaces that operate outside a white supremacist heteronormative capitalist logic.
