open access | peer reviewed

Abstract

In this collection, the multifaceted character of Latin American literature takes the form of an itinerary that shows plural and heterogeneous aesthetic expressions. The aim of the book is to think, once again, about the cultural identity of the continent, which is open and in constant development, through a reflection that considers new points of view and an interdisciplinary approach.
