Technology, Literature, and Digital Culture in Latin America

Grappling with the technologies that shape global society, this book visits Latin American literature, technology, and digital culture from the post-boom era to today. It examines literature alongside the newest media, including videogames, blogs, electronic literature, and social networking sites, as well as film, photography, television, and music. Essays interrogate how the global networked subject has affected local political and cultural concerns in Latin America, addressing how critical approaches to the convergences, boundaries, and protocols of new media might transform our understanding of the literature and culture produced or received in Latin America today and in the future.
