Latin American Gothic in Literature and Culture (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature) - 9781032242057

This book explores the Gothic mode in the literature, visual arts, and culture of Latin America. Visiting texts from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, the Andes, Brazil, and the Southern Cone, the essays illuminate the existence of native representations of the Gothic, while also exploring the presence of universal archetypes of terror and horror. Through the analysis of global and local Gothic topics and themes, they evaluate the reality of a multifaceted territory marked by a shifting colonial and postcolonial relationship with Europe and the US, also acknowledging the effects of Globalgothic on a transnational and transcultural level.
