Featuring twenty-five key essays from the Journal of Latin American
Cultural Studies (Traves/sia), this book surveys the most
influential themes and concepts, as well as scouring some of the
polemics and controversies, which have marked the field over the
last quarter of a century since the Journal's foundation in 1992.
Emerging at a moment of crisis of revolutionary narratives, and at
the onset of neoliberal economics and emergent narcopolitics, the
cultural studies impetus in Latin America was part of an attempted
intellectual reconstruction of the (centre-) left in terms of civil
society, and the articulation of social movements and agencies,
thinking beyond the verticalist constructions from previous
decades. This collection maps these developments from the now
classical discussions of the 'cultural turn' to more recent
responses to the challenges of biopolitics, affect theory,
posthegemony and ecocriticism. It also addresses novel political
constellations including resurgent national-popular or eco-nativist
and indigenous agencies. Framed by a critical introduction from the
editors, this volume is both a celebration of influential essays
published over twenty five years of the Journal and a
representative overview of the field in its multiple ramifications,
entrenchments and exchanges.
