Caribbean(s) on the Move - Archipielagos Literarios del Caribe: A Transarea Symposium

Space can best be defined not by looking at borders and territories but, rather, by focussing on movements of crossing and re-crossing. Today, the horizons of traditional Area Studies have to be opened up by innovative TransArea Studies which generate a new vision of entangled and connected histories and multi-, inter- and transcultural developments. The vectorization of all kinds of knowledge is on the agenda: the movements of the past are still present in the movements of today. Could there be a better field for this theoretical shift than the Caribbean, one of the outstanding producers of cultural and literary theories of our time? The articles gathered in this volume accept the challenge of portraying the Caribbean(s) on the Move and of rethinking the Caribbean from the standpoint of its world-wide mobile cultural networks.
Un espacio puede ser definido de la manera mas adecuada focalizando sus movimientos cruzados y entrecruzados y no desde el angulo de sus fronteras y territorios. El horizonte de los Estudios de Area tradicionales debera ampliarse en la actualidad por medio de los innovadores Estudios Transareales, para generar asi una nueva vision de historias entrelazadas y conectadas, asi como una nueva perspectiva de los desarrollos multi-, inter- y transculturales. Esta presente aqui la vectorizacion de todos los tipos de saberes: los movimientos del pasado signen vigentes en los movimientos de hoy. ?Habra un espacio mas idoneo para este desplazamiento teorico que el Caribe, verdadero surtidor te teorias culturales y literarias? Los articulos reunidos en este libro se han propuesto la dificil tarea de perfilar los archipielagos literarios del Caribe y de repensar el Caribe desde el punto de vista de sus redes culturales globales y moviles.
