World Exhaustion in Latin American Literatures and Cultures / El agotamiento del mundo en las literaturas y culturas de America Latina

The volume analyzes the implications of the "world exhaustion" concept that has emerged in a post-global cultural context and whose effects are particularly salient in Latin American literatures and cultures. This conceptual term aptly describes the ambivalent lived experiences of societies that have been marked by centuries of globalization-and the artistic production that seeks to give form and meaning to these experiences.
