The Routledge Companion to Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Latin
American Literary and Cultural Forms brings together a team of
expert contributors in this critical and innovative volume.
Highlighting key trends within the discipline, as well as
cutting-edge viewpoints that revise and redefine traditional
debates and approaches, readers will come away with an
understanding of the complexity of twenty-first-century Latin
American cultural production and with a renovated and eminently
contemporary understanding of twentieth-century literature and
culture. This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced
students and academics in the fields of Latin American literature,
cultural studies, and comparative literature.
From today's vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in
the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to
illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been
severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this
globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past
twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive
revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond,
Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions
approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for
phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the
discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal
cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically
(but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American
literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume
provides innovative insights into critical readings of World
Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that
embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for
all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of
literature.
