Desde ficciones ya clásicas como La pasión según G.H. de Clarice Lispector o El beso de la mujer araña de Manuel Puig, hasta 2666 de Roberto Bolaño o Bajo este sol tremendo de Carlos Busqued, pasando por las reescrituras de los mataderos en la cultura argentina o por las corporalidades inhumanas de João Gilberto Noll, "lo animal", dice Gabriel Giorgi, emerge como un artefacto que permite leer un reordenamiento más vasto. A partir de una serie de materiales, que incluye además instalaciones y documentales, Formas comunes analiza el cambio de lugar del animal en la cultura como indicador de un desplazamiento clave: el animal empieza a funcionar de modos cada vez más explícitos como signo político. Un estudio tan elocuente como actual de una de las figuras más destacadas de la nueva generación de intelectuales latinoamericanos

The Handbook of Latin American Environmental Aesthetics offers a comprehensive overview of Latin American aesthetic and conceptual production addressing the more-than-human environment at the intersection between art, activism, and critique. Fields include literature, performance, film, and other audiovisual media as well as their interactions with community activisms. Scholars who have helped establish environmental approaches in the field as well as emergent critical voices revisit key concepts such as ecocriticism, (post-)extractivism, and multinaturalism, while opening new avenues of dialogue with areas including critical race theory and ethnicity, energy humanities, queer-*trans studies, and infrastructure studies, among others. This volume both traces these genealogies and maps out key positions in this increasingly central field of Latin Americanism, at the same time as they relate it to the environmental humanities at large. By showing how artistic and literary productions illuminate critical zones of environmental thought, articulating urgent social and material issues with cultural archives, historical approaches and conceptual interventions, this volume offers cutting-edge critical tools for approaching literature and the arts from new angles that call into question the nature/culture boundary.
