Landscapes and Territories in the Anthropocene. Literary and cultural perspectives of representation in the Americas

In recent years, the so-called 'Anthropocene' has not only been focused within earth system studies. It has become a central theme in current discourses in the field of cultural studies, political debates, and the literatures and arts of the Americas. Addressed are global environmental phenomena such as climate change, the decline of biodiversity or the increasing exploitation of non-renewable resources of the earth, which in Latin America are discussed under the title '(neo)-extractivism'.

Vivir en y contra el Antropoceno: epistemologías, dimensiones y alternativas desde América Latina

 El Antropoceno es un concepto que se podría considerar polisémico. Por un lado, engloba y sintetiza las múltiples dimensiones de la crisis socioambiental que atraviesa el planeta, y que es, además, una crisis civilizatoria aparejada al fracaso del proyecto moderno. Por otro lado, es un concepto puente, tiende a eliminar o matizar las concepciones binarias que históricamente han naturalizado la supuesta separación ontológica entre sociedad y naturaleza.

(Post-)colonial Archipelagos: Comparing the Legacies of Spanish Colonialism in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines

The Puerto Rican debt crisis, the challenges of social, political, and economic transition in Cuba, and the populist politics of Duterte in the Philippines—these topics are typically seen as disparate experiences of social reality. Though these island territories were colonized by the same two colonial powers—by the Spanish Empire and, after 1898, by the United States—research in the fields of history and the social sciences rarely draws links between these three contexts.
