Espacio literario e intertextualidad en Wide Sargasso Sea, de Jean Rhys Goenaga Conde, Beatriz M. Rhys, intertextualidad espacio literario isla Wide Sargasso Sea The main objective of this article is aimed at assessing the functions of intertextuality in the construction of the Caribbean insular space in Wide Sargasso Sea, by the Dominican writer Jean Rhys. For this reason, it was analyzed the intertextual relations between Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte and Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys with emphasis on the island as an explicitly presented literary space. As a result, it was found that the main function of intertextuality in this text responds to the Calibanesque and demystifying intention of dismantling the archetypes in which the image of the other has been erected in the discourse of power. Likewise, the present analysis has made it possible to reveal the richness of the connotation granted in Wide Sargasso Sea to the island and its added meanings. This network of meanings reinforces its Caribbean cultural identity. El objetivo fundamental de este artículo está dirigido a valorar las funciones de la intertextualidad en la construcción del espacio insular caribeño en WideSargasso Sea, de la escritora dominiquesa Jean Rhys. Por tal motivo se analizaron las relaciones intertextuales entre Jean Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë, y Wide Sargasso Sea, de Jea Rhys, con énfasis en la isla en tanto espacio literario presentado de manera explícita. Como resultado se pudo constatar que la principal función de la intertextualidad en dicho texto responde a la intención calibanesca y desmitificadora de desmonte de los arquetipos en los que la imagen del otro ha sido construida en el discurso del poder. De igual manera, el presente análisis permite develar la riqueza de las connotaciones otorgadas en el texto al espacio isla y a sus significados añadidos. La red de significaciones encontradas refuerza su identidad cultural caribeña.
