The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to literary studies, blending literary criticism with cultural, historical, and social perspectives. This includes examining texts through lenses such as feminism, postcolonialism, and psychoanalysis. - Focus on Marginalized Voices:
A significant aim is to highlight the works of underrepresented authors, particularly women writers, indigenous perspectives, and those from marginalized communities within Latin American literature. - Exploration of Contemporary Issues:
The journal engages with contemporary themes such as trauma, memory, identity, and cultural consumption, reflecting current societal issues and their representation in literature. - Historical Contextualization:
A consistent focus is placed on the historical context of literary works, particularly in relation to significant events such as the Spanish Civil War and the military dictatorships in Latin America, which shape literary narratives. - Grotesque and Humor in Literature:
The journal frequently explores the use of humor and the grotesque in literature, examining how these elements serve to critique societal norms and express complex emotional landscapes.
Trending and Emerging
- Feminist Literary Criticism:
There is a significant increase in feminist literary criticism, exploring themes of female sexuality, identity, and the representation of women's experiences in literature, as seen in the analysis of contemporary Spanish poetry and narratives. - Trauma and Memory Studies:
Emerging themes focus on trauma and memory, particularly in the context of post-dictatorship narratives, reflecting a growing interest in how literature serves as a means of processing collective and individual trauma. - Cultural Consumption and Identity:
Recent articles emphasize the relationship between cultural consumption and identity formation, exploring how literature reflects and shapes contemporary consumer culture and personal identity. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Literature:
There is a trend towards interdisciplinary approaches, integrating insights from fields such as sociology, psychology, and cultural studies to enrich literary analysis and broaden understanding. - Grotesque and Dark Humor as Critique:
The exploration of the grotesque and dark humor in literature is gaining prominence, with a focus on how these elements serve as tools for social critique and emotional expression.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Canon:
There appears to be a decline in articles focused on traditional literary canon and established authors, as newer publications increasingly center on contemporary voices and experimental writing. - Formalist Criticism:
Formal literary analysis, which emphasizes structure and style over context, seems to be less prevalent, as the journal leans more towards contextual and thematic explorations. - Eurocentric Perspectives:
The journal has moved away from Eurocentric literary perspectives, focusing instead on Latin American contexts and indigenous narratives, reducing the prevalence of studies centered on European literary influences. - Static Historical Narratives:
There is a noticeable decrease in articles that present static historical narratives without engaging with contemporary relevance, as the journal increasingly seeks to connect past literature with present-day issues. - Focus on Single Authors:
The trend of in-depth studies on individual authors, particularly those who are already well-established, has diminished in favor of broader thematic explorations and comparative analyses.
