 As a recent wave of studies (Siskind, Hoyos, Price, Sánchez Prado) that resituate Latin American cultural production suggests, the field is invested in rethinking geopolitical constructs and the structures of literary study that emerge from them. This session seizes this critical momentum and carries it forward.
