La hipótesis posglobal que fundamenta este libro plantea que las literaturas latinoamericanas del siglo XXI están cada vez más influenciadas por la disminución del enfoque global. El ascenso de los populismos nacionales en América Latina, Asia y Europa, así como la crisis del COVID, la emergencia ecológica y la persistente desigualdad, han generado una crisis en la narrativa de la globalización. Los autores se proponen analizar la variedad de la experiencia posglobal en Latinoamérica mediante la contraposición de los conceptos de “colapso” y “convivialidad”. Mientras que las representaciones del colapso resaltan la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas naturales y sociales, la convivialidad sugiere la posibilidad de vivir juntos en un mundo dañado.

World Exhaustion/Agotamiento del mundo: this theoretical concept has emerged against the backdrop of today’s world culture in a distinctive and ambivalent way— one characterized by manifold post-global dynamics. In this congress, we aim to analyse the implications of the term “world exhaustion”, examining geopolitical and cultural effects that are particularly salient in the literatures and cultures in the Latin American region. The conceptual term is suitable for the ambivalence of the lived experiences of societies that have been marked by centuries of globalization— and for the artistic production that seeks to give form and meaning to these experiences.

Post-Global Aesthetics

21st Century Latin American Literatures and Cultures

 

Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over. New concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project: the volume scrutinizes these responses in the aesthetic realm and under a "post-global" banner, while incorporating alternative, non-Western epistemologies and literatures of the post-colonial Global South.
