USDLatin American Literature in Transition 1800-1870 uses affect as an analytical tool to uncover the countervailing forces that shaped Latin American literatures and cultures during the first six decades of the nineteenth century. Chapters provide perspectives on colonial violence and its representation, on the development of the national idea, on communities within and beyond the nation, and on the intersectional development of subjectivity during and after processes of cultural and political independence. This volume includes interdisciplinary approaches to nineteenth-century Latin American cultures that range from visual and art history to historiography to comparative literature and the study of literary and popular print culture. This book engages with the complex and sometimes counterintuitive relationship between felt ideas of community and the political changes that shaped these affective networks and communities.
- Provides examples of transatlantic and transnational approaches to nineteenth-century cultural studies in Latin America
- Thinks beyond standard periodization through the critical lense of affect and emotion
- Provides a wide variety of critical perspectives including affect, intersectionality, transoceanic studies, transatlantic studies, visual culture and gender studies
