Beskrivning
Academic and research fields are moved by fads, waves, revolutionaries, paradigm shifts, and turns. They all imply a certain degree of change that alters the conditions of a stable system, producing an imbalance that needs to be addressed by the field itself.New Approaches to Latin American Studies: Culture and Power offers researchers and students from different theoretical fields an essential, turn-organized overview of the radical transformation of epistemological and methodological assumptions in Latin American Studies from the end of the 1980s to the present. Sixteen chapters written by experts in their respective fields help explain the various ways in which to think about these shifts. Questions posited include:Why are turns so crucial?How did they alter the shape or direction of the field?What new questions, objects, or problems did they contribute?What were or are their limitations?What did they displace or prevent us from considering?Among the turns included are: memory, transnational, popular culture, decolonial, feminism, affect, indigenous studies, transatlantic, ethical, post/hegemony, deconstruction, cultural policy, subalternism, gender and sexuality, performance, and cultural studies.

Recensioner i media

'New Approaches to Latin American Studies offers an invaluable collective account of the transformations and "turns" that the field of Latin American Studies has experienced in the past twenty-five years. Discussing significant theoretical paradigms and concepts (from cultural studies to memory and ethics to affect and posthegemony), the top-rank scholars contribute, in each individual chapter, to the construction of a comprehensive, sophisticated and rigorous cartography of the field of Latin American Studies.' - Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, author of Screening Neoliberalism and Strategic Occidentalism
