This board-sponsored panel invites a reflection on the multiple intersections between Latin American and World Literature. We invite submissions dealing with how Latin American writers and intellectuals have engaged with ideals of globality, internationalization, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism. We are also interested in the question of how Latin American literature has been received in spaces outside of the continent, and how the literary discourses created by Latin American writers are read, adapted and interpreted across the world.
