What are the main contributions of Hispanic cultural products and practices today? This book is a collection of essays on new critical trends in Hispanic Caribbean thinking. It offers an update on the state of Hispanic Caribbean studies through the discussion of diverse theoretical perspectives around notions of affect, archipelagic thinking, deterritoriality, and queer experiences and subjectivities. These eccentric Caribbean and aquatic imaginaries move beyond those that are circumscribed by identity, nation, insularity, and the colonial epistemologies derived from these conceptions. Due to its cultural and historical specificities, the Hispanic Caribbean constitutes a focus of study crucial to re-thinking global dynamics today.

Aborda las formas de subjetivacion que intervinieron en las experiencias de feminidad de las mujeres de la colonia hispana neoyorquina en el periodo de entreguerras. Para ello se parte del estudio de la publicidad, los consejos de belleza y moda, las secciones de fotorreportaje, las paginas femeninas y las cartas de las lectoras de tres de las mas importantes publicaciones periodicas en espanol de la metropoli: el semanario Grafico, el diario La Prensa y la revista cultural Artes y Letras. Lectura y consumo se conjugan en estas paginas para ofrecer otras formas de ciudadania a sujetos que, en su condicion periferica como mujeres e inmigrantes, habitaban los margenes de la modernidad y de la vida moderna norteamericana.
