NEW APPROACHES TO LATIN

AMERICAN STUDIES

Academic and research fields are moved by fads, waves, revolutionaries, paradigm
shifts, and turns.They all imply a certain degree of change that alters the conditions of
a stable system, producing an imbalance that needs to be addressed by the field itself.
New Approaches to Latin American Studies: Culture and Power offers researchers
and students from different theoretical fields an essential, turn-​organized overview
of the radical transformation of epistemological and methodological assumptions
in Latin American studies from the end of the 1980s to the present. Sixteen chap-
ters written by experts in their respective fields help explain the various ways in
which to think about these shifts. Questions posited include:

• Why are turns so crucial?

• How did they alter the shape or direction of the field?
• What new questions, objects, or problems did they contribute?
• What were or are their limitations?
• What did they displace or prevent us from considering?

Among the turns included are:  memory, transnational, popular culture, deco­
lonial, feminism, affect, indigenous studies, transatlantic, ethical, post/​hegemony,
deconstruction, cultural policy, subalternism, gender and sexuality, performance,
and cultural studies.

Juan Poblete is Professor of Latin/​o American Literature and Cultural Studies

at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is the author of Literatura chilena
del siglo XIX (2003); editor of Critical Latin American and Latino Studies (2003);
and coeditor of Andrés Bello (2009), Redrawing The Nation:  National Identities in
Latin/o American Comics (2009), Desdén al infortunio: Sujeto, comunicación y público en
la narrativa de Pedro Lemebel (2010), Sports and Nationalism in Latin America (2015),
and Humor in Latin American Cinema (2015).

New Approaches to Latin American Studies offers an invaluable collective account

of the transformations and “turns” that the field of Latin American Studies has
experienced in the past twenty-five years. Discussing significant theoretical
paradigms and concepts (from cultural studies to memory and ethics to affect and
posthegemony), the top-ranked scholars contribute, in each individual chapter, to
the construction of a comprehensive, sophisticated, and rigorous cartography of
the field of Latin American Studies.
—Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, Author of Screening
Neoliberalism and Strategic Occidentalism

What is the status of theoretical thinking about Latin America? New Approaches to
Latin American Studies: Culture and Power includes thought-provoking and engaging
answers to this question offered by contemporary thinkers and critics who trace
the genealogies, challenges, and contributions of sixteen “turns” or paradigm shifts
in the critical engagement of Latin America as an object and subject of study.
—Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel, Professor of Latino and Caribbean Studies and
Comparative Literature, Rutgers-New Brunswick

What a wonderful set of mappings of the analytical and theoretical frameworks

that have informed Latin American Studies and of the salient texts that pioneered
these frameworks! They shed new light for seasoned scholars, not to mention for ii
those engaging this highly transdisciplinary field for the first time. Juan Poblete
has gathered the very best writers to focus on the various scholarly turns, enabling
the reader not only to understand how Latin American realities are understood at
different junctures but also how those turns, often initially formulated elsewhere,
developed and how they have been adapted. This book is a must for every student
of Latin America in the humanities and social sciences.
—George Yudice, Professor, Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures, University of Miami

INTRODUCTION
Twenty-​Five Years of Latin American Studies

Juan Poblete

How, when, and to what effect did we come to see affect as a form of social
dynamic and power different and distinct from reason and ideology? When was
hegemony, as the production of common sense through intellectual means, dis-
placed by a posthegemonic account of nonideological control in immanent pro-
cesses of daily life? When and why was the long-​lasting man of reason, modernity,
and humanism critiqued from the viewpoint of his exclusions; when was his foun-
dational social contract perceived as the basis of oppression? When and how was
modernity seen as having less to do with the eighteenth century of rationalism,
secularization, and science-​based progress and more with colonial religious zeal and
racist articulations of labor and subjecthood? When was Latin America extended to
the north of the continent and beyond? When, why, and how were its nation-​states
seen as not fully capable of accounting for the diverse social, cultural, economic,
and political processes that multiplied difference within and beyond their borders?
This volume was born out of an interest to respond to these and many other
questions that point to a radical transformation of the issues, scales, scopes, episte-
mological, and methodological assumptions of Latin American studies in the past
quarter century, from the end of the 1980s to the current moment. More specifi-
cally, the volume wants to organize the answers to these questions around the issue
of turns in disciplinary and interdisciplinary spaces (as in linguistic or cultural turn
as I show below).
In 2013, I became the co-​chair of the Culture, Power, and Politics section of
the Latin American Studies Association (LASA). One of the immediate responsi-
bilities of the job was to organize the three congress panels our section gets, based
on the number of members associated with the section, in order to showcase
research in the area. My idea for the section’s three slots was to organize three
2

2  Juan Poblete

workshops exploring the past twenty-​five years of intellectual production around

the concept of “turn.” My hope was that this would help us first map, assess, and
question the different paradigms that have affected the field in that period; second,
it might also suggest some paths for the future; and finally, it might result in an
interesting volume if the workshops were successful. Jon Beasley-​Murray, my then
section co-​chair, enthusiastically embraced the plan. It resulted in three workshops
that took place at the XXXII International Congress of LASA during May 21–​24,
2014, in Chicago.
The workshops were very successful (at least by the field’s own modest stan-
dards) and reinforced the idea that the project deserved to become a volume.
The book project, as usual, has seen some departures—​including that of Beasley-​
Murray and other colleagues—​and some significant expansions. The final slate
went from the original eleven participants to the current sixteen chapters consti-
tuting this volume.
The invitation to contributors to the book project suggested that there were
various ways in which to think about such a turn-​based cartography of the field
of Latin American studies relevant to the Culture, Power, and Politics section of
LASA. For instance, one might ask: What are the four or five key texts (or institu-
tions or events) in a given “turn”? Why are they so crucial? How did they alter the
shape or direction of the field? What new questions, objects or problems did they
contribute? What were or are their limitations? What did they displace or prevent 2
us from considering?
While the volume aimed to provide a broad assessment and survey, it was not
to be neutral or free of controversy, critique, or even polemic. Contributors were
selected because I valued both the originality of their thought and their expertise
in the field. I asked them to incorporate both of these elements in their chapter.
An ideal chapter, I suggested, would include a review of the literature defining
and advancing key aspects of a given “turn,” and their effects on the broader field,
as well as the author’s own take on the achievements, limitations, and ongoing
potential of the turn in question.

A Word or Two on the Turn to Turns

There are a number of related terms that could help explain what is specific to a
given theoretical turn. Academic and research fields are said to be moved by fads or
fashions, waves, revolutionaries, paradigm shifts, and turns. They all imply a certain
degree of change that alters the conditions of a stable system, producing an imbal-
ance that needs somehow to be addressed by the field itself. What may be at stake
in the distinctions is the degree and scope of the change thus brought, its capacity
to affect different dureés or time-​scales within that system or field. A fad may be
said to be a temporary and, by definition, always cyclical distraction in the form of
a hot author or book that for a year or two, coinciding with the moment of its first
publication or appearance, seems to become mandatory, at least as a reference, for
3

Introduction  3

participants within a field of knowledge or across fields. Thomas Piketty’s (2014)

Capital in the Twenty-​First Century could be said to have been such a book and author
in the very recent past. As proven by Piketty’s case, a fad does not necessarily involve
a lightweight author or book and may be, instead, the most visible part of a larger
wave of multidisciplinary and disciplinary studies, in this case, on inequality. Such
waves—​and here one could think of Joseph Stiglitz’s (2013) The Price of Inequality,
Robert Reich’s (2015) Saving Capitalism for the Many Not the Few, Branko Milanovic’s
(2016) Global Inequality, Anthony Atkinson’s (2015) Inequality: What Can Be Done,
CEPAL’s Inestabilidad y desigualdad: la vulnerabilidad del crecimiento en América Latina y el
Caribe (2015), etc.—​may be responding to more substantial social processes of change
whose internal dynamics and conflicts may demand a sustained effort at understand-
ing, manifested in a research series. The scale of the transformation determining the
wave can be said to be as big and long durée as the crisis of capitalism gone global,
medium term as in the questioning of neoliberal hegemony in the world, or relatively
shorter term as in political responses to the 2008 financial crisis.
Revolutionaries may be said to be, following Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts on the
origin and dynamics of intellectual fields, those who can only or more effectively
accumulate symbolic capital within the system by questioning its doxa, i.e. by
questioning what passes for accepted truths and dominant forms, arguments, and
validations within that field. The value of such a gesture can be either reactionary
2
or progressive, that is to say, it may attempt to return the field to a previous state of
stasis or introduce radically new propositions. An interesting case here is the col-
lection Theory’s Empire (2005). Coeditors Daphne Patai and Wilfrido Corral stated
right at the beginning of their introduction:

This anthology appears at a moment when not only have theoretical discus-
sions of literature become stagnant but articles and books are published in
defense of the conceptual stalemates that have led to this very immobility.
In the early years of the new millennium, theorists are busily writing about
the impasse in which theory finds itself.
(1)

Patai and Corral are part of a group of scholars in different fields who
reacted to what they considered Theory’s empire. The capitalization of the
noun alluded to a certain hegemony of French poststructuralism, the reactions
against which manifested in fields such as film studies (David Bordwell and
Noel Carroll’s 1996 Post-​theory: Reconstructing Film Studies) or philosophy (Paul
Boghossian’s 2007 Fear of Knowledge: Against Relativism and Constructivism). The
arc they responded to is neatly summarized in the title of historian Georg
Iggers’ Historiography in the Twentieth Century:  From Scientific Objectivity to the
Postmodern Challenge (2005).
Theory, as such, may be have been a good example of what Thomas Kuhn
famously called a paradigm shift. Kuhn began distinguishing between normal
4

science, crisis, and extraordinary science, the latter being the result of cumulative
pressure produced by inexplicable anomalies that eventually force a revolution
and then a new phase of normal science. The activities of these periods of nor-
mal science are determined by paradigms, i.e. ensembles of shared understand-
ings of concepts, problems, and exemplary solutions to those problems and, thus,
models for new problems. The paradigm or disciplinary matrix provided a lan-
guage, a mode of reasoning and a modus operandi. But when it entered into crisis
due to the accumulation of persistent and important anomalies, the questions
became: What could remain in place? Was there a substantial enough continuity
of the basic disciplinary enterprise in question? Kuhn’s answer was that para-
digms are not just incompatible but also incommensurable. The world observed
by science, but also the world of the scientist, look and feel different from within
the new paradigm.
The cultural or linguistic turn, what eventually became Theory, with its
emphasis on historically produced languages of the social—​based on the artic-
ulation of both arbitrary and historically changing codifications, themselves
depending on sets of differences that established negative or relational rather
than positive or essential identities—​was a radical reconceptualization of the
ontology of the social. It was, we could say, a paradigmatic change or an episte-
mological break affecting the central definitions of what Man was, how human-
ism was thus defined, and what kinds of exclusions or plays of differences were 4
central to his identity. What are now called new materialisms and the anthro-
pocene may well be thought of as paradigmatic shifts in the general orientation
of, at least, the social and human sciences. They would include new materialism,
post-​human, and nonrepresentational turns that try to go beyond the limitations
(human and semiotic) of the previous Theory paradigm; or queer and disability
studies turns that operate past the normative models of humanism, history, and
society.
Turns, on the other hand, may then be area-​or issue-​specific reactions to
Theory’s underexamined and still humanist assumptions or, more radically, more
focused substitutes to Theory’s all-​encompassing ambitions. Thus, when Patricia
Ticineto Clough explains in the introduction to her coedited collection The
Affective Turn: Theorizing the Social the import of the affective turn, she states:

The affective turn, therefore, expresses a new configuration of bodies, tech-

nology, and matter instigating a shift in thought in critical theory. It is this
shift that the following essays engage. Taken together, the essays explore the
movement in critical theory from a psychoanalytically informed criticism
of subject identity, representation, and trauma to an engagement with infor-
mation and affect; from privileging the organic body to exploring non-​
organic life; from the presumption of equilibrium-​seeking closed systems to
engaging the complexity of open systems under far-​from-​equilibrium con-
ditions of metastability; from focusing on an economy of production and
5

Introduction  5

consumption to focusing on the economic circulation of pre-​individual

capacities or affects in the domain of biopolitical control. Taken together
the essays suggest that attending to the affective turn is necessary to theo-
rizing the social.
(2)

Thus conceived, the affective turn would seem to straddle the distinction
between a broad paradigm shift (of which it would seem to be a part) and a more
focused turn in the area of emotions and affects. As part of a paradigm shift, the
affective would participate in the displacement of the still-​human and subject-​
centered nature of Theory, despite the fact that Theory had emerged precisely as
a radical critique of what it conceived as the failures or limitations of the white
male subject of humanism. From the viewpoint of actor-​network theory, informa-
tion and systems theory, or Deleuzian philosophy,Theory seemed still too focused
on the singularity of the subject and the human, paying little attention to their
interactions and assemblages with technology, the nonorganic, and the nonhu-
man. As a turn, on the other hand, the affective could more specifically refer to
the multidisciplinary expansion of research at the intersection of the body–​mind
divide. In both cases a new form of materialism and posthumanism would seem
to be emerging.

In Re-​framing the Transnational Turn in American Studies, Fluck et  al. (2011)
assert:  “ ‘The Transnational Turn’ in American studies has effected the most
significant re-​imagining of the field of American Studies since its inception”
(1).  In  introducing the contributions in their volume Beyond the Cultural
Turn: New Directions in the Study of Society and Culture, Bonnell and Hunt (1999)
state that they all share the following:  “(1) questions about the status of ‘the
social’; (2) concerns raised by the depiction of culture as symbolic, linguistic and
representational system; (3) seemingly inevitable methodological and epistemo-
logical dilemmas; (4) a resulting or perhaps precipitating collapse of explanatory
paradigms; and (5) a consequent realignment of the disciplines (including the rise
of cultural studies)” (6). Finally, striking a useful cautionary note, as historians
tend to do, but at the same time embracing the need to think through “turns,”
the editors of a 2012 American Historical Review forum on “Historiographic Turns
in Critical Perspective” declare:

While the contributors of this forum present different views on this intel-
lectual trajectory, for the most part they refuse to see “turning” as simple
or unproblematic […] Rather, they both analyze the turns and historicize
them—​subjecting them to a searching and wide ranging critique that at
once reminds us of what can be gained by such historiographical retrospec-
tion and also what might be lost in thinking of them in both definitive and
categorical terms.

In Latin American studies, as the essays in this collection seek to explain and
explore, there have been in the past twenty-​five years a number of influential
turns, many of which would seem to be part of a similar paradigmatic shift as that
which confronted Theory, transnationalism, or the cultural and linguistic turns.
Between the mid 1970s and the late 1980s, i.e. between the arrival of military
dictatorships and authoritarian governments in the continent, on the one hand,
and the end of the Cold War, on the other, the paradigm of dependency theory
and Third World inflected Marxisms, which had significantly influenced both the
social sciences and the humanities, began to yield to theories of world systems,
hybridization, financial restructuring, and migration flows, softening or blurring
the distance between First and Third Worlds and displacing nation-​centered meth-
odologies. Eventually they became first, the theorizing of postmodernity, a new
epoch in Western history, and then, globalization theory and the analysis of culture
and society under planetary neoliberalism. These, respectively, time-​and space-​
based new theories, pushed Latin Americanist humanities and social sciences into
deconstructing and overcoming the limitations of the nation-​state as a naturalized
container for the perfect coincidence of territory, culture, and society. In Latin
American studies this work was developed during the 1990s by, among others,
cultural-​studies scholars under the influence of their historian peers from India.
One of the clearest forms of this program and critique can be found in the Latin
American Subaltern Studies Group Manifesto. It highlights the need to distin- 6
guish among the state (historically at the service of the economic interests of
the national bourgeoisie), the nation (which the manifesto sees, in its historically
dominant discursive shape, as the almost exclusive result of the labor of the state
and its institutions, themselves dominated by the white bourgeoisie), and the peo-
ple, defined as the ensemble of subaltern populations whose participation, ways of
cultural, social and political organization, must be visibilized.
The nation-​state and the social sciences that naturalized some of its key cat-
egories, questions, ways of collecting data, methodologies, etc., was one of the
central elements against which a significant amount of what has been and is new
in the past twenty-​five years of Latin American studies was reacting. However, the
revalorization of civil society, democratic processes, cultural practices within the
nation and in the face of de-​nationalizing dynamics of transnational capital and
new-​media omnipresence, have also been important factors in such developments
in the past quarter century.
This radical rethinking of the temporal and spatial coordinates of nation-​state-
centered modernity led to intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches such as
feminism, cultural studies, transnationalism, and complexity-​based theories, which
questioned the previous epistemological hegemony of more disciplinary pure his-
tory, sociology, philosophy, and formalism. Theory, too, had its regional impact
through the diffusion in Latin America of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida,
Pierre Bourdieu, Stuart Hall, French feminists, and others.Theory, cultural studies,
feminisms, intersectionality were also other names for a turn away or a distancing
7

Introduction  7

from the hegemony of mainstream sociology and economics, with the accompa-
nying reductions of the social to all-​encompassing and all-​explaining categories,
such as class and rational choice individual in the pursuit of maximizing individ-
ual gains. Culture and power were intertwined in more complex, interesting, and
promising ways that the many turns here included set out to investigate.
While a few of the contributors to this volume are Latin American scholars
residing in Latin America, most of them are US-​based Latin Americanists, and this
book reflects, by design, that perspective. I am beginning work on a companion
volume that will invite Latin American scholars in the south of the continent to
first determine which could be the turns that have actually shaped the conversa-
tions in that part of the region and then produce their own synthesis of why and
to what effect they matter for the subcontinent and beyond.

An Overview of This Volume
In “The Memory Turn,” Michael J. Lazzara explores memory as a concept around
which activists and academics have sought to denounce human-​r ights violations
and articulate the challenges of consolidating democracy in the aftermath of polit-
ical violence. Since the 1980s, it has become firmly entrenched in the disciplines
of the humanities and social sciences and, little by little, has gained institutional
6
presence.
Lazzara’s chapter offers key signposts and questions to invite a conversation
about the “memory turn”:  the specific trajectories memory studies have taken
in Latin America, the challenges this area of inquiry presents, its possible futures,
and its pedagogical potential. He argues that while memory continues to har-
bor significant pedagogical and political potential for Latin American area studies,
scholars of memory studies must also remain on guard against an exhaustion of the
topic, always encouraging renewal and new theorizations germane to the scenarios
and cases that urgently need to be studied. Of equal importance, memory studies
must insist on the repoliticizing—​or continued politicizing—​of an interdisciplin-
ary space of inquiry that was born out of political struggle and that, through sub-
sequent institutionalization or inertia, risks losing touch with its activist origins
and mission. He suggests that despite certain limitations memory studies can still
be a powerful tool for facilitating conversations across disciplinary spaces within
the academy, as well as for building bridges between academic and extra-​academic
spaces, or between politically engaged and committed academics working in the
global north and global south.
In my chapter, “The Transnational Turn,” I state that transnationalism and
more generally transnational studies emerged in the early 1990s as a methodo-
logical, epistemological, and political response to the challenge of thinking the
brave new world that globalization had produced. This included the acceleration
of flows and time and the reconfiguration of space, with the concomitant rele-
vance of new scales and scopes but also the differential rates of the circulation of
8

goods and finance, on one end, and people, on the other. I study the transnational
turn through a focus on three texts that can be unquestionably called pioneering
within the field. They are: one justly famous article, “Mexican Migration and the
Social Space of Postmodernism” (1991) by Roger Rouse; and two books, Nations
Unbound: Transnational Projects, Postcolonial Predicaments, and Deterritorialized Nation-​
States by Linda Basch, Nina Glick Schiller, and Cristina Szanton Blanc (1994);
and The Transnational Villagers by Peggy Levitt (2001). I then assess the promises of
and critiques to transnationalism and conclude with some comments on current
neonationalists’ US-​based responses to it.
In “The Popular Culture Turn,” Pablo Alabarces states that the study of Latin
American popular cultures was marginalized during the neoliberal decade result-
ing in the expulsion of popular cultures from research agendas. They were dis-
solved instead into analytical categories that claimed to be more appropriate and
suitable during times of hybridization, “des-​colección” (de-​collection) and deter-
ritorialization, each of which gained popularity in the publishing and academic
markets.Twenty years later, proposes Alabarces, we are witnessing both a reopening
of those agendas and the reappearance of displaced categories and subjects. The
new political success of national-​popular narratives in the continent, for example,
speaks more of continuities and, again, returns, rather than dissolutions and clo-
sures. Popular cultures, which disappeared from the research agenda in the 1990s,
reappear in the new century because they never truly went away. Dressed in new 8
robes and including innovative practices and unstable and mobile texts, popular
cultures continue to function as signposts, revealing the degree to which the pos-
sibility of a democratic culture is negotiated, discussed, and disputed.
Erin Graff Zivin’s “The Ethical Turn” asks when did we, as a field, turn “toward”
ethics—​if we can say that we did—​and from what did we turn away? The so-​
called “turn to ethics” has itself become a trope, a turning, and a symptomatic trope
at that. It is a trope that reveals a profound anxiety with what has been a perva-
sive disciplinary obsession over the relation between politics and literature, and
between politics and intellectual and artistic production more broadly. The turn
to ethics tends to presuppose a turn away from politics or a substitution of one for
the other. The chapter focuses upon four types of readings of ethical philosophy
in Latin American and Latin Americanist thought: theological, literary, political, and
deconstructive. The first section evaluates Enrique Dussel’s assimilation of the work
of Emmanuel Levinas into his own philosophy of Latin American liberation. The
second section juxtaposes Dussel’s Levinasianism with Doris Sommer’s ostensibly
very different Levinasian approach to literary studies. The third section unpacks
the debate over the relation between ethics and political militancy that surfaces
in Argentina following the publication of philosopher Oscar del Barco’s letter
“No Matarás.” The final section considers several recent, more deconstructive
approaches to ethics in Latin American studies that refuse the logic of recognition-​
identification on which one paradigm of substitution turns, and which provide
new, unfamiliar concepts of ethics, politics, and the relation between the two.

Introduction  9

Gareth Williams’ “The Subalternist Turn” discusses the contributions and limi-
tations of the three main strands of thought that came out of the Latin American
subaltern studies configuration of the 1990s, taking into consideration the pos-
sibility of their relation, or lack of a relation, to an actual “turn” in the field.
The three main strands in question are: populism/​“post-​subalternism,” so-​called
“decolonial theory,” and the posthegemonic turn. Examining the three strands in
terms of their genealogies and internal logics, the essay concludes that the only
actual turn in the field is provided by the infrapolitical turn toward posthegemonic
democracy.This is the case because the two other configurations offer identitarian
grounds for thought that do nothing to dislodge the received anthro-​logocentrism
of the field in its criollista-​indigenista vein.
Under the title of “The Cultural Studies Turn” Mabel Moraña approaches
the social and ideological contexts that surrounded the emergence of cultural
studies and the circumstances of its adoption and transformation in American
and Latin American academic and intellectual environments. The chapter elabo-
rates on factors affecting knowledge production and models of representation in
Western cultures in the last decades of the twentieth century, thus precipitating the
restructuring of the humanities and the social sciences. These changes had direct
impact on the reconfiguration of Latin Americanism as a transnationalized field.
The chapter points to the contributions and shortcomings of cultural studies as
8
a new avenue for the comprehension of social change and for the interpretation
of new forms of subjectivity, collective agency, and social dynamics, such as those
related to the practices of migration, interculturalism, infrapolitics, and the like. It
also elaborates on the changing role of intellectuals and cultural institutions in a
world impacted by the new horizons opened by digital technologies.
Nelson Maldonado-​Torres’ chapter, “The Decolonial Turn” focuses on dis-
courses about coloniality and decoloniality. The concept of decolonial turn calls
attention to this work, but it can also be understood as a shift in attitude and as
a project that is grounded on various waves of decolonization efforts in Latin
America and other colonized settings. The decolonial turn also poses colonialism
as a fundamental problem that is intrinsic to Western modernity, and the colonized
as a potential agent of radical epistemic, symbolic, and material change. The essay
offers a definition of decolonial turn, an account of the origin of the concept, and
examples of twentieth-​and twenty-​first-​century expressions, with emphasis in the
Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States.
The past thirty years in Latin America, state Nicole Fabricant and Nancy
Postero in their “The Indigenous Studies Turn” chapter, have been marked by
the struggles of indigenous peoples, who have emerged as important political
actors, calling attention to the territorial, political, and economic exclusions that
continue to mark their everyday lives. Claiming citizenship and human rights,
indigenous peoples have demanded both self-​determination and political partici-
pation, calling for the decolonization of their nation-​states and an end to systemic
racism. Scholars have increasingly argued that who counts as indigenous is a fluid
10

10  Juan Poblete

political question, emerging from struggles over particular social, cultural, envi-
ronmental, and economic matters during particular moments. Indigeneity can
function as a powerful political force, utilized by indigenous groups as emancipa-
tory politics or by others seeking to appropriate it for their own interests to enact
forms of governance. The chapter focuses on four themes that are animating
scholarship today: (1) Since the 1990s, neoliberal states have instituted forms of
state recognition called “neoliberal multiculturalism.” Scholars have analyzed the
political openings this form of identity politics provided as well as the dangers
and limitations it entails. (2) As extractivist development continues across the
region, scholars have studied indigenous relations to natural resources, illustrating
the tensions indigenous communities face: resisting development or participating
in the global capitalist market knowing it may cause negative ecological, territo-
rial consequences for their lands and peoples. (3) The struggles of indigenous
women have been a key site for rethinking the intersectional relations between
gender, race, and class. (4) Finally, scholars in the ontological turn have drawn
attention to the radically different worlds indigenous people inhabit, calling us to
decolonize Western scholarship by attending to indigenous ontological relations
with nonhuman beings.
“The Performance Turn,” says Angela Marino in her chapter here, refers to
changing trends moving from text-​based to embodied forms of knowledge and
transmission. The chapter reviews three central debates in the fields of Latin 10
American studies and performance to suggest that the performance turn calls
for a shift in methodology to reflect the complexity of performativity and per-
formed behaviors. The debates discussed in the chapter are: (1) ephemerality and
evidence; (2) performativity and the performatic; and (3) approaches to aesthetics
and power. Through these debates, new models of approaching cultural memory
have emerged. In particular, combining praxis and scholarship sheds light on issues
of spatial and temporal difference, historically and currently, as well as questions
of spectatorship and reception. The effect of the performance turn has thus led to
new directions in methods, a broadening of objects of study to relationships and
process, and a renewed emphasis on transdisciplinarity in the arts and sciences.
In “Turning to Feminisms,” Sonia E. Alvarez and Claudia de Lima Costa sus-
tain that the “mainstream” of Latin American studies of culture, power, and politics
did not take (and perhaps still has not taken) feminist insights to heart and that
prevailing strands of early gender studies in the region did not make culture a cen-
tral axis of analysis either. Though feminist interventions arguably had a marked
impact on cultural studies in the Anglo-​American academy, Alvarez and Costa
argue that influence was marginal, at best, in scholarly circles in the South of the
Americas, despite the clear political significance of culture for early second-​wave
feminist activism in the region. Zeroing in on Brazil, they review several factors
that help explain why hegemonic feminist scholarship tended to neglect culture
and, especially, cultural politics. They further maintain that, by the early 1990s,
activist cultural interventions had been rendered less visible with the ascent of
 1

Introduction  11

more institutionalized, professionalized, and policy-​focused feminist politics. The

chapter ends with a consideration of how and why cultural politics have again
been foregrounded since the 2000s by multiple expressions of subaltern feminist
activism in Brazil.
Alberto Moreiras’s chapter, “The Turn of Deconstruction,” reflects on the dif-
ference between the import of deconstruction in the 1990s and its present import
for Latin American studies. It does so through a critique of Jacques Derrida’s
notion of a double register in political thought as offered in Specters of Marx. For
Moreiras, historical conditions have changed to such an extent that the Derridean
idea of a first register of thought is no longer functional, which also means, the
second register, as based on the first, fails as well. The conditions for deconstruc-
tion have therefore shifted, which leads toward the necessary affirmation of a
second deconstructive turn in the field, or a second stage in critical deconstruc-
tion. The essay then proceeds to discuss the first deconstructive turn, the moment
of incorporation of deconstruction into Latin American studies in the 1990s,
through a general revision of the irruption of so-​called critical theory in the US
university during the 1980s and its belated assimilation in Hispanist fields. The
third and last section of the essay attempts to formulate a new role for deconstruc-
tion in its second stage.
In “The Cultural Policy Turn,” Ana Wortman studies the close relation dur-
10
ing this period between concepts of culture and the state in Latin America and
the proper forms of action or intervention of the state in the realm of culture.
Culture itself, and not just the idea of the democratic state, has been changing in
the past few decades. This chapter explores the most important authors leading
this rethinking in Latin American cultural studies on cultural policy, on the one
hand, and a few instructive examples of concrete cultural policies in Argentina and
Brazil, on the other.
In the “The Transatlantic Turn,” Bécquer Seguín focuses on the two domi-
nant theoretical strands of transatlantic studies.Transatlantic studies, in the broadest
sense, attempted to break with the national paradigm of literary and cultural stud-
ies. Spurred by colonialist scholars such as Rolena Adorno and Walter Mignolo,
transatlantic studies replaced the emphasis on national boundaries with an expan-
sive account of transnational circuits of information, exchange, and political
solidarity across the continents. Today, scholars of modern Latin America, such
as Tania Gentic and Alejandro Mejías-​López, have used transatlantic studies to
point out, for example, the role the extensive circulation of newspapers in late-​
nineteenth-​century Latin America had in developing regional literary movements.
Other scholars, such as Rachel Price and Ignacio Infante, have called on transat-
lantic studies as a comparative method in order to study authors from Spain and
Latin America alongside one another. Despite the proliferation of transatlantic
studies, however, the field still appears to be dominated by two distinct theoretical
approaches: subalternism, which stems from the work of Mignolo, and textualism,
which derives from the work of Julio Ortega. This chapter attempts to explain
12

12  Juan Poblete

why this is and what theoretical impasses these two competing paradigms present
for future work in transatlantic studies.
In “The Gender and Sexuality Turn,” Robert McKee Irwin and Mónica
Szurmuk posit that new theoretical approaches to gender and sexuality, a grow-
ing participation of women and an increasing visibility of sexual diversity in the
academy, and the changing attitudes of a new generation led to a major shift in
the treatment of gender and sexuality both in the Latin American academy and
among Latin Americanists in the global north. The essay lays out how this shift
played out in the late 1990s and early 2000s, focusing on the work of several key
figures including Sylvia Molloy, Marta Lamas, Carlos Monsiváis, Nelly Richard,
and Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda. It also looks at more recent decolonial trends
that in the United States bring theories of intersectionality and especially race to
bear on theories of gender and sexuality under the rubric of what has come to be
known as queer of color critique, and in Latin America articulate autochthonous
perspectives on these issues through the development of “la teoría cuir” or theo-
ries of sexual dissidence. In both cases, contemporary theorists build on the think-
ing of pioneering (pre-​Judith Butler) scholars such as Gloria Anzaldúa (in the
United States) and Néstor Perlongher (in Latin America) to address problematics
of race, transgenderism, rights, and bio-​and necro-​politics in a changing land-
scape in which many questions that were unthinkable in the 1980s (e.g., same-​sex
marriage) have become mainstream even as state violence has intensified against 12
disenfranchised women and sexually diverse populations.
Laura Podalsky’s “The Affect Turn” charts the growing acknowledgment of the
role of emotion, affect, and/​or sensorial flows as generative forces in larger socio-
cultural and political processes within particular disciplines—​most notably, literary
studies, cultural criticism, film studies, and, to a much lesser degree, anthropology
and history.The first section examines the motivating factors that have encouraged
scholars in those fields to “think affect” or to perceive in the cluster of terms asso-
ciated with that concept a means by which to illuminate Latin American sociocul-
tural dynamics. These include the interest in examining the psychosocial afterlife
of repressive dictatorships and armed conflicts; the role of affective dynamics in
uniting particular collectives from queer communities to social movements; and
the place of emotional regimes in bolstering a given sociopolitical order, socioeco-
nomic program or state-​formation from the colonial period to the present.
The essay further argues that this growing body of scholarship betrays an
underlying concern about the social function of emotion that emerges, in part,
from the valorization of “critical distance” and the suspicion about the sensorial
as hallmarks of scholarly inquiry in ways seldom acknowledged by the schol-
ars themselves. The essay concludes with a consideration of potentially fruitful
avenues for future research.
In his chapter, Abraham Acosta provides a reading of what has been called
the “posthegemonic turn” in Latin America. It develops a conceptualization of
posthegemony as, on the one hand, the generalized political condition brought
 13

Introduction  13

about by the social and economic effects of neoliberalism’s global reign and the
subsequent displacement of the nation-​state as arbiter of sovereign control and
governmentality. On the other, it reads posthegemony in light of, and as a direct
corollary to, the simultaneous emergence of affect theory in the US academy.
Drawing from theorists such as Gramsci, Hardt and Negri, Carlo Galli and Brian
Massumi, and reading from recent insights into the posthegemonic by Gareth
Williams, Jon Beasley-​Murray, and Alberto Moreiras, this essay explores the politi-
cal and epistemological implications of posthegemony in Latin America and else-
where as well as what the concept may mean in future critical discussions on
politics and culture.
