Scholars across the humanities and social sciences have long sought to theorize waste, more particularly relationship between humans – their history, society, culture, art thought discards. My contention, though, is that these theories, since Mary Douglas's Purity Danger (1966) Thompson's Rubbish Theory (1979), been predominantly based in on global North contexts and, concomitantly, taken as axiom distance our cultures, lives, experiences material rejects. By intersecting existing cultural...

This cultural movement, whose actors often form part broader social movements, has spread across Latin America beyond, with other 250 active collectives.

This article gives a comparative analysis of the way in which Lacanian psychoanalysis and Alain Badiou's mathematical ontology understand category real, respectively, as foundation individual subjectivity or name being-as-being.

Eurocentrism, coloniality and race have been largely absent from the small body of scholarship dedicated to Guatemalan writer Augusto Monterroso. Analyzing his literary production La oveja negra (1969) vaca (1995), I make case for reading behind scenes Monterroso’s short narrative into a much more ambitious literary-political project that anticipates what Quijano, Mignolo, Escobar others would later term “decoloniality”. Through critique cultural distinction, irreverence towards knowledge...

Analizamos cuatro obras narrativas: El laberinto la soledad (1950)...
ABSTRACT: This essay bridges a gap between Waste Theory, Postcolonial Studies, and Environmental Justice through new reading of Marcos Herrera’s La mitad mejor (2009). Set in Buenos Aires’ clandestine underworld, the narrative stages acts extreme cruelty that reduce its marginalized characters to ‘wasted lives’ (Zygmunt Bauman), ‘living dead’ (Achille Mbembe), ‘less than human beings’ (Maria Lugones). Attending ‘unplots’, racialized ‘uncharacters’, wasted settings, I argue violence flows...

Cartonera publishing emerged in post-crisis Buenos Aires with the birth of Eloísa cartonera (2003), whose founders proposed a radically new model making books out recycled cardboard, purchased from, and made with, cartoneros (waste-pickers). Since then, this has been adapted across Latin America by an ever-growing number collectives (currently around 250). In article we ask: What relations and/or networks have enabled underground cultural production to grow on such scale? modalities...

Interdisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity and counter-disciplinarity are the hallmark of cultural studies qualitative research, as scholars over past three decades have discussed through extensive self-reflexive inquiry into their own unstable ever-shifting methods (Denzin Lincoln, 2018; Dicks et al., 2006: 78; Grossberg, 2010). Building on interdisciplinary thought Jacques Rancière Caroline Levine one hand traditions participatory action research activist anthropology other, we bring...
AbstractProminent and proliferating readings locate mythical structures at the heart of Juan Rulfo's literary world. Notably, Raymond Bartra María Luisa Ortega suggest that his works are structured around universal, timeless myths embed individual experiences in a collective narrative. In this article, I argue narrative technique is also connected with an extra-literary, eminently modern técnica: photographic technology. short story collection El llano en llamas (1953) viewed through three...
Critics have often noted the prominent role accorded to natural world in Juan Rulfo’s work, interpreting fusion of human and environment as a metaphor for characters’ fate or their desired but unrealizable state. However, interactions between more-than-human that proliferate writing are not only metaphorical, also material. Approaching El llano en llamas (1953) from an ecocritical perspective allows reader delve into complex geographical, geological meteorological conditions south-eastern...
