This article proposes to disseminate the impact of neuroeducation and metaverses on the processes of reception, understanding and interpretation of cultural and bioemotional memory derived from identity, essentially in Latin American peoples. With a qualitative approach, a systematic review of scientific literature on digital literacy, educommunication, emotional education and memory is proposed, since the end of the 20th century, to fragment certain neoliberal molds and stereotypes. The results suggest that neuroeducation and metaverses contribute to a better use of qualifying moments, which act in learning and in the fixation of cultural semantic memory. Significant resources build the individual and collective imagination, affirm identity and socio-cultural behavior. It concludes that these didactic applications and the collaboration of resources with the indicated indicators contribute to the development of cultural values and cognitive, psychological and social competencies that affect a person's behavior.

This article examines the construction of a multifaceted collective memory through the main female protagonists in Song of the Water Saints (2002) by the Dominican American author Nelly Rosario. By bridging memory studies, Latin American studies, and Afro-Latinx studies, the book examines racial and gendered constructs, intergenerational struggles, US imperialism, and Rafael Trujillo’s dictatorship to show the interconnected nature of memorial articulations for subaltern subjects. Through a literary close reading, this article dissects the lives of three generations of female characters—Graciela, her daughter Mercedes, and Graciela’s great-granddaughter Leila—and how they challenge, reinforce, and suffer racialized, political, and gendered subjectivities. By examining intersectional and historical trauma simultaneously, this study contributes to the field of memory, Afro-Latinx, and Latin American studies by showing the muddled construct of memory for Dominicans and Dominican Americans.
