Sinopsis

Visualizing Loss in Latin America engages with a varied corpus of textual, visual,áand cultural material with specific intersections with the natural world, arguingáthat Latin American literary and cultural production goes beyond ecocriticism asáa theoretical framework of analysis. Gisela Heffes poses the following crucialáquestion: How do we construct a conceptual theoretical apparatus to addressáissues of value, meaning, tradition, perspective, and language, that contributesásubstantially to environmental thinking, and that is part and parcel of LatináAmerica? The book draws attention to ecological inequality and establishes aábiopolitical, ethics-based reading of Latin American art, film, and literature thatáoperates at the intersection of the built environment and urban settings. Heffesásuggests that the aesthetic praxis that emerges in/from Latin America is permeatedáwith a rhetoric of waste-a significant trait thatoverwhelmingly defines it.
