• Sommario/riassunto: What are the main contributions of Hispanic cultural products and practices today? This book is a collection of essays on new critical trends in Hispanic Caribbean thinking. It offers an update on the state of Hispanic Caribbean studies through the discussion of diverse theoretical perspectives around notions of affect, archipelagic thinking, deterritoriality, and queer experiences and subjectivities. These eccentric Caribbean and aquatic imaginaries move beyond those that are circumscribed by identity, nation, insularity, and the colonial epistemologies derived from these conceptions. Due to its cultural and historical specificities, the Hispanic Caribbean constitutes a focus of study crucial to re-thinking global dynamics today. Magdalena López (PhD University of Pittsburgh) is a research fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies (University of Notre Dame, United States) and Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal). She specializes in culture and literature in the Hispanic American Caribbean. María Teresa Vera-Rojas (PhD Universitat de Barcelona and University of Houston) teaches Latin American Literature at the Universitat de Lleida, and is a research member of ADHUC–Research Center for Theory, Gender, Sexuality at the Universitat de Barcelona.
