This book emphasizes the significance of affects, feelings and
emotions in how we think about politics, gender and sexuality in
Latin America. Considering the complex and even contradictory
social processes that the region is experiencing today, many Latin
American authors are turning to affect to find a key to understand
our present situation, to revisit our history, and to imagine new
possibilities for the future. This tendency has shown such a
specificity and sometimes departure from northern productions that
it compels us to focus more deeply on its own arguments, methods,
and critical contributions. This volume features essays that
explore the particularities of Latin American ways of thinking
about affect and how they can shed new light into our understanding
of, gender, sexuality and politics.
