Aprender de la bio-eco-crítica en el centro de las humanidades ambientales
Investigación académica y prácticas artísticas ambientales latinoamericanas
El presente dossier reúne cuatro artículos que demuestran cómo un número de estudios recientes, junto a prácticas de arte y de diseño se encuentran reconfigurando el campo emergente de las humanidades ambientales latinoamericanas -una disciplina en rápida consolidación que nutre métodos y perspectivas derivados de las ciencias sociales, las artes y las humanidades; las ciencias naturales y el pensamiento indígena- con el fin de interrogar crítica…

Naturaleza apropiada
By the end of the XX century and the beginning of the XXIst it has emerged a significant corpus of urban utopian narrative proposals where the preservation of nature is part of a specific “green” agenda. These utopian imaginaries offer a utopian scheme for private societies, in correspondence with the neoliberal economic politics that have been implemented in Latin America since the end of 1980s. Thus, the present article addresses the reconfigur…

Latin American Environmental Research and Practice
This dossier brings together four essays that show how recent scholarship, art, and design practice are shaping the emergent field of Latin American Environmental Humanities - a rapidly consolidating discipline that cross-fertilises methods and perspectives stemming from the social sciences, arts and humanities, natural sciences, and Indigenous thought, to critically interrogate environmental histories and confront contemporary challenges. Togeth…

In 2019, Héctor Hoyos published Things with a History: Transcultural Materialism and the Literatures of Extraction in Contemporary Latin America, as Elizabeth DeLoughrey published Allegories of …
Escrituras tóxicas
This article focuses on the recent rural turn in contemporary Argentine literature production. It draws from Laurence Buell’s notion of toxic discourse (1988) in order to analyze two narratives: Distancia de rescate (2014) by Samanta Schweblin, and Las estrellas federales (2016), by Juan Diego Incardona, along with the poetry collection Un pequeño mundo enfermo (2014), by Julián Joven [pseudonym of Cristian Molina]. With the emergence and more fr…

Reimagining Contemporary Latin American Cities
In 1972 Italian writer Italo Calvino published Invisible Cities, a catalog of imaginary cities that presents an archetype of the city from which all possible cities may be deduced. This model of the city can help us to reflect both on a particular city and on all cities at once, for as Cal vino reminds us in his renowned work, cities are spaces where we exchange not only commodities but also words, desires, and memories. In recent years, contempo…
