Tagung / Conference
World Exhaustion in Latin American Literatures and Cultures/El agotamiento del mundo en las literaturas y culturas de América Latina
June 29 & 30, 2023
9H – 19H
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.
