In an attempt to summarise my Master’s thesis, this paper analyses the online presence of Latter-day Saint influencers. Using content analysis, I study the way they choose to depict their faith and their motherhood. This essay also examines the postfeminist nature of their discourse and narratives. I argue that being a social media influencer allows Latter-day Saint influencers who take part in this practice to conform to their Church’s doctrine, while also enabling them to navigate a cultural landscape permeated by neoliberalism.

Caliban, the monstrous character from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, was positively reappropriated in the Caribbean world around 1970. This episode constitutes a veritable “Caliban moment”, a pivotal stage in the circulation and reception of the play, as well as in the history of Latin American postcolonial thought. The aim of this article is to outline some of the ways in which the negativity historically attributed to this character is overturned, transforming him into a positive symbol of Caribbean cultural identity. Two complementary analytical concepts are used: poetic gesture and hermeneutic gesture. These tools enable us to approach a particularly heterogeneous corpus of study, made up of a triptych of works, authors, languages and literary genres. These considerations are taken directly from the Master’s thesis completed in 2024 at EHESS under the supervision of Tiphaine Samoyault, winner of the “Prix de Mémoire de l'Institut des Amériques” for the Hispanic area.
