Post-Global Aesthetics: 21st Century Latin American Literatures and Cultures (Issn, 14)

Open Access Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over. New concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project: the volume scrutinizes these responses in the aesthetic realm and under a "post-global" banner, while incorporating alternative, non-Western epistemologies and literatures of the post-colonial Global South. As its title indicates, the book series'Latin American Literatures in the World'presents an innovative understanding of literatures written in Latin America and the Caribbean. Informed by current perspectives on world literary studies and cultural theory, the series focuses on works that deal with the multiple global connections of Latin American literatures. This comprises determined aesthetics and forms of writing, as well as book-market-related phenomena of the worldwide reception and circulation of these literatures. Understanding Latin American literature's transnational orientation as its essential feature, the series seeks to provide new perspectives on the global entanglements of Latin America. A special emphasis is placed on works that consider relations and exchanges with Asia, Africa and other world regions beyond the traditional transatlantic focus. Como su título lo indica, la serie'Literaturas latinoamericanas en el mundo'representa un entendimiento innovador de las literaturas concebidas como latinoamericanas y caribeñas. A partir de postulados actuales de los estudios de la literatura mundial y la teoría cultural, la serie se centra en trabajos que investigan las múltiples conexiones globales de las literaturas latinoamericanas. Este enfoque comprende tanto la transferencia de determinadas estéticas y escrituras al igual que fenómenos de mercado, de recepción y puesta en circulación internacionales. En base a la orientación transnacional de las literaturas latinoamericanas como una de sus características fundamentales, la serie busca promover abordajes críticos e innovadores sobre esos entrelazamientos globales de América Latina. Un interés particular consiste en los trabajos que investigan los intercambios con Asia, África y otras regiones del mundo más allá del tradicional enfoque transatlántico.
