商品描述
This book is a manifesto-like consideration of the potentialities of radical political thought and action in contemporary Puerto Rico. Framed within the context of the present economic crisis, of austerity measures, PROMESA and mass migration, this book engages recent literary, artistic and activist work on the island in order to highlight the manners in which such work--however precarious, innocuous and/or fleeting--fosters hope among audiences, artists, protesters and onlookers alike for a more egalitarian and just society. Autoethnographically grounded, informal in tone, and with an eye toward intersectionality, this book serves as a unique contribution to the field of Puerto Rican Studies, by offering alternate points of departure for emergent theorizing and intellectual production across academic disciplines.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書是一部類似宣言的考量,探討當代波多黎各激進政治思想和行動的潛力。書中置於當前經濟危機、緊縮措施、PROMESA 及大規模移民的背景下,參與了島上近期的文學、藝術和社會運動作品,以突顯這些作品如何——無論多麼不穩定、無害或短暫——在觀眾、藝術家、抗議者和旁觀者之間培養對更平等和公正社會的希望。本書以自我民族誌為基礎,語氣非正式,並關注交叉性,為波多黎各研究領域提供了獨特的貢獻,通過提供不同的出發點,促進跨學科的理論創新和知識生產。
