No. 17 (2015): Cuerpos Ultraoceánicos

There are no fictions without bodies, which become the support of literature, in turn, an extension and representation of bodies. The body is always verbalized and interpreted. No body can escape its representation. Reflection on the body, its desires, conflicts and representations in different writers are the focus of this monographic issue that pays special attention to the cultural constructions of Latin America, especially Chileans. The textured body and the embodied text constitute the core of the different analyzes that reflect on texts outside the literary canon in a disturbing and subversive exercise that challenges and confronts America and the West with their roots, their beliefs and their disembodied ghosts.
