Prismas de la Diversidad Cultural - (Studies in Periodical Cultures) (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This volume is the first Spanish-language publication in the Studies in Periodical Cultures series and is devoted entirely to the Latin American cultural sphere, which is characterized by a high degree of cultural diversity. Journals and Magazines serve as fascinating prisms through which this diversity can be viewed.

14 contributions in a total of five sections offer an excellent insight into the current methods and issues in a highly dynamic field of research. They range from the early phase of independence in the 19th century to the present day and offer insights not only into the Spanish-speaking cultural sphere, but also into the Portuguese-speaking cultural area (Brazil). The volume is aimed at both specialists and a general audience.

Este volumen, el primero de la serie Studies in Periodical Cultures en lengua castellana, está dedicado al ámbito latinoamericano, cuyos periódicos y revistas, a la manera de fascinantes prismas, permiten apreciar la diversidad cultural que lo caracteriza.

Las 14 contribuciones, agrupadas en 5 secciones, abarcan un rango temporal que inicia en las independencias y cierra en nuestra contemporaneidad: además, ilustran las preguntas, temas y perspectivas teórico-metodológicas actualmente vigentes en este campo de los estudios revisteriles. Tanto los especialistas como el público general encontrarán en estas páginas valiosos aportes al estudio y a la comprensión de Latinoamérica.
