Beyond Conflicts and Borders: Reconciliation and Latinotopia by Karin Ikas

“…Increasingly, the region is extending its influence to all parts of the United States and is gaining greater importance as an in-between space – in the sense of a glocal, geo-political and transcultural as well as aesthetic space beyond a third space – not only in the Americas but internationally. How and to what extent Latinotopia can eventually be perceived as a discursive site for reconciliation in the Third Millennium is the question this paper aims to answer by integrating socio-political, historical and literary works in an interdisciplinary manner and by suggesting considering Gilles Deleuze’s and Félix Guattari’s figure of the “rhizome” as an illustrative concept to capture Latinotopia theoretically and practically in further studies.…”
