What is the status of Latin American Cultural Studies in the 21st century? How have they evolved after their formidable expansion during the 1990s and subsequent crisis at the beginning of the century? What are the main theoretical and critical approaches to have emerged in the past decade? What is their standing in the global intellectual field? What is their standing in U.S. academia today? What is their position in regard to cultural, economic and political globalization? What’s in the future? What to do? These are some of the questions we want our participants to address in this symposium, whose proceedings will be included in the inaugural issue of alter/nativas, a new e-Journal in Latin American Cultural Studies sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies.
