Visualizing Loss in Latin America engages with a varied corpus of
textual, visual, and cultural material with specific
intersections with the natural world, arguing that Latin
American literary and cultural production goes beyond ecocriticism
as a theoretical framework of analysis. Gisela Heffes poses
the following crucial question: How do we construct a
conceptual theoretical apparatus to address issues of value,
meaning, tradition, perspective, and language, that
contributes substantially to environmental thinking, and that
is part and parcel of Latin America? The book draws attention
to ecological inequality and establishes a biopolitical,
ethics-based reading of Latin American art, film, and literature
that operates at the intersection of the built environment
and urban settings. Heffes suggest that the aesthetic praxis
that emerges in/from Latin America is permeated with a
rhetoric of waste—a significant trait that overwhelmingly defines
it.
