Writing in the Air
Originally published in 1994, Writing in the Air is one of the most significant books of modern Latin American literary and cultural criticism. In this seminal work, the influential Latin American literary critic Antonio Cornejo Polar offers the most extended articulation of his efforts to displace notions of hybridity or "mestizaje" dominant in Latin American cultural studies with the concept of heterogeneity: the persistent interaction of cultural difference that cannot be resolved in synthesis.

Cornejo Polar decenters literature as the primary marker of Latin American cultural identity, emphasizing instead the interlacing of multiple narratives that generates the heterogeneity of contemporary Latin American culture.

Antonio Cornejo Polar y los estudios latinoamericanos
The texts compiled in this book attempt to offer an interpretation under a new light of the work of José Carlos Mariátegui, undoubtedly one of the most brilliant and controversial representatives of Latin American thought. Strongly rooted in its historical moment, Mariátegui's work has nevertheless gained visibility in different ways and at different stages in the thought and political praxis of Latin America. This volume, an essential reference tool, returns to the work of the Peruvian thinker to question it from new perspectives opened up by cultural studies and post-colonial theory.
