Libros, viajes y viajeros : itinerarios de lo extraño en América Latina

Abstract

From the New World to contemporary weirdness, from American exoticism to the foreignness of migrants, this volume explores the paths of strangeness in Latin America. It does so through literature and other arts, intertwining politics and poetry, and constantly moving between the center and the margins of the canon and the continent. Without attempting to exhaust them, it highlights the incredible richness of these itineraries through a multiplicity of critical approaches. Although this work is only a guide, we are confident that it has awakened the desire for new explorations and further studies on the vast and still mysterious territories of the strange.
