Latin American Studies and Irish Studies
Why should those of us working in Irish Studies care about the research, conclusions, and insights emerging from the field of Latin American Studies? Through a reading of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake in dialogue with previous scholarship on Dubliners and Ulysses, this article argues that the analysis of representations of Indigenous Latin America in dialogue with Irish society can illuminate otherwise difficult to perceive cultural and political …
Cultural Crisis and Danny Reveco
In December 2023, the Valparaíso-based artist, Danny Reveco, opened his exhibition, 'Language Is Not Sufficient'. A month later, it was the catalyst of a cultural crisis when it was argued that Reveco's works were criminal acts. I recommend that Reveco was principally concerned with how the Chilean State interpellates residents in the national territory according to the 'good behaviour' of a proper citizen. Those who do not fulfil that good behav…
Punk, Planetarity, and the Wages of Neocolonial Globalization
Discussions of punk tend to coalesce around its manifestation in the North Atlantic, but recent research and documentary filmmaking have focused on punk as a worldwide phenomenon. What remains underexplored is the neocolonial cultural politics of punk's global travels. After introducing the theoretical stakes—is punk neocolonial globalization or decolonial planetarity?—the article shifts to focusing on the articulation of that tension in Latin Am…
Hegemonía y exclusión
This article tracks the function of Latin American constitutionalism with a particular concentration on the history of Chilean constitutionalism, to determinate the general inability to establish a representative constitution. Through an interdisciplinary Gramscian methodology based on cultural and legal studies, we propose that the function of a constitution is to institutionalize the perspective of the dominant class and thus establish its hege…

Against the City
The basic argument of this article is that the Caribbean author, Derek Walcott, illuminates how the concept of "the city" can be used to enable a geopolitical system of centralized power seated in culturally, politically, and economically significant nodes (i.e., "cities"). In short, following Walcott, the concept of "the city" at times serves as a cultural technology to justify colonization, the monopolization of political power, and the dominat…
Can the Slumdweller Speak? James Joyce and Mediating Dublin Slum Discourse
The concern of this article surrounds the discourse of recent calls by elite researchers to do away with the “s-word,” to quote Mike Davis’s endorsement of Alan Mayne’s (2017) groundbreaking new study. I take issue not with their critique of the idea of the “slum,” even if others have pointed out limitations in their visions (Harris 2018), but rather in their essentialist assumption: accepting as ontological fact the pre-given existence of a geog…
Mediating and Representing the Slum
As a lexical concept, slum has been widely criticized by twenty-first-century researchers, but the formulation and spread of the concept have profoundly altered actual cities in many parts of the world since the early twentieth century. Examining the discursive history of the slum concept demonstrates the contribution literary studies focused on the city can make to urban history. Urban historians concerned with areas labeled as slums would benef…
DC hardcore, gentrification and punk urbanism
This article examines the narratives that enabled and legitimized the gentrification of several neighbourhoods of Washington DC during the 1980s. What links each of the neighbourhoods (Georgetown, Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, sections of the U Street/Shaw neighbourhood and parts of Penn Quarter) is that all experienced gentrification after the arrival of punk communities to their spaces in the early 1980s. I argue that DC punk urbanism is tied to …
On the Chilean Social Explosion
On the Chilean Social Explosion uses the methods of literary, cultural, and subaltern studies to examine what cultural foundations and practices gave rise to this political uprising.On 18 October 2019, Chile exploded into a series of nationwide protests that placed the socio-political order of neoliberalism, settler colonialism, and patriarchy under structural crisis. In March 2020, however, the quarantining measures taken in response to the COVI…
Decolonization, decolonial excess, and punk
This article explores the decolonial foundations at the beginning of punk in the United States and England during the 1970s and 80s. More precisely, it investigates the work of Bad Brains and John Lydon (both during his time with the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd.) to see how they staked out a particular decolonial position from within punk. This article's argument is triple. First, I argue that Bad Brains struggled with the tension of placing…
Narrative, the Chilean social explosion, and affective geography
In response to State violence during the so-called ‘Chilean social explosion’ [ estallido social], the Valparaíso Coordinator of Cultural Action [ Coordinadora acción cultural Valparaíso] (CAC) in collaboration with other cultural groups of Valparaíso as well as other artists who spontaneously improvised during the performance organized on 31 October 2019 an ‘artistic candlelight vigil for human rights’ that passed through the center of the Chile…
Spaces of exposure
Developing thoughts on exposure in cultural geography, literary studies, and mobilities research, this article aims to provide a more comprehensive account towards the publicness of public space. What would happen if we assessed publicness not by degrees of openness and inclusion, but through the nexus of vulnerability and complicity that is fundamental to the notion of exposure? To grasp such an intrinsic dualism, our perspective goes towards pu…
Punk urbanism
This article argues that punk urbanism is best understood as the attempt to paradoxically conceive of and organize cities as unorganizable, contested, and heterogeneous spaces; the consolidation of a stable and coherent urban community is challenged within punk urbanism by the constant disruption of any identifiable and stable urban meaning. More precisely, sections of London punk in the 1970s revealed that a cultural geography based around a coh…
Decoloniality, communality, and anti-semitism
Although Latin American decolonial thinking has always maintained an interest in taking the theories and practices of the communities of Latin America's colonized peoples seriously, the theorization of communality and communal systems has been a new focus of the last two decades. That is, the academic decolonial dedication to diversity and difference has recently been imagined as a pluriverse of communal systems. As such, this decolonial group of…
Hospitality; or, A Critique of Un/Inhabitability
Recent criticisms of regionalization and urbanization in the Anthropocene have argued that actors are increasingly producing uninhabitable spaces, in which oppressed and marginalized groups are either left to die or forced into a rootless existence of constant displacement. Through an examination of the cultural politics of current discussions of uninhabitability in the Anthropocene, this article argues against the logic of un/inhabitability—demo…
