Latin American Identity in Online Cultural Production

<p>This volume provides an innovative and timely approach to a fast growing yet still under-studied field in Latin American cultural production: digital online culture. It focuses on the transformations or continuations that cultural products and practices such as hypermedia fictions net.art and online performance art as well as blogs films databases and other genre-defying web-based projects perform with respect to Latin American(ist) discourses as well as their often contestatory positioning with respect to Western hegemonic discourses as they circulate online. The intellectual rationale for the volume is located at the crossroads of two equally important theoretical strands: theories of digital culture in their majority the product of the anglophone academy; and contemporary debates on Latin American identity and culture. </p>
