Dimensiones Del Latinoamericanismo by
Entre otros, los temas de memoria, testimonialismo, migración, realismo mágico, descolonización, cómics, "nuevo cine" e identidad reciben en este libro un tratamiento nuevo, que incorpora ángulos críticos y teóricos que permiten replantear problemas ya presentes y visualizar aspectos impensados en el corpus siempre abierto del latinoamericanismo contemporáneo. Tales aproximaciones incluyen reflexiones profundas sobre representación simbólica, ejercicios comparativos y análisis ideológicos que dinamizan ese campo de estudios y marcan las rutas académicas e intelectuales que se siguen en la actualidad en los estudios literarios y culturales. Estos artículos constituirán, sin duda, referencia obligada sobre los temas abordados, pero también como ejemplo de metodologías trans-disciplinarias que inscriben la temática latinoamericana en contextos mayores, como los de la literatura mundial, la globalización y los movimientos sociales.
