Drawing on a new theoretical framework that blends intellectual studies and literary history with integrated approaches to Spanish American narrative, this book traces the evolution from aesthetic cosmopolitanism through anti-colonial nationalism to modern political cosmopolitanism.Cosmopolitanism in Latin America has historically been associated with colonialism. In the mid-twentieth-century, authors who presented cosmopolitan narratives were harshly criticized by their nationalist peers. However, with the intensification of cultural globalization Spanish American authors have redefined cosmopolitanism, rejecting a worldview that relies on the creation of an other for the definition of the self. Instead, this new generation has both embraced and challenged global citizenship, redefining concepts to address human rights, identity, migration, belonging, and more.Taking the work of Elena Poniatowka, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Jorge Volpi as examples, this book presents innovative scholarship across literary traditions. It shows how Spanish-American authors offer nuanced understandings of national and global affiliations, and identities and untangles the strings of cosmopolitan thought and activism from those of nationalist criticism.Spanish American literatureHistory and criticism20th centuryCosmopolitanism in literatureSpanish American literatureHistory and criticism21st centuryCosmopolitanism studies.Latin American books.Latin American literature.South American authors.Spanish American books.Spanish American literature.anti-colonialism.colonialism.cosmopolinatism importance.cosmopolinatism in the age of globalization.cosmopolitanism in Latin America.cosmopolitanism literature.cosmopolitanism.evolution.literary criticism theories.literary criticism.literature.nationalism.Spanish American literatureHistory and criticismCosmopolitanism in literature.Spanish American literatureHistory and criticism810.90052Bilodeau Annik1252650MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910585982703321Belonging beyond borders2904231UNINA
