A new type of comparativism and the latin american context

Abstract

Considering what is being understood today as a “new type of comparativism,” that is, a discipline which is neither restricted to binary studies among works, authors or literary movements, nor exclusively devoted to the canon of Western tradition, but rather receptive to any kind of literary or cultural expression and to other areas of knowledge, in search of a true dialogue among cultures, we will discuss in this paper some of the efforts which have been taken in Latin America for the establishment of this dialogue, as well as the possibility of constituting what has been designated lately as a “Latin American geoculture.”

Keywords
new type of comparativism; Latin American geoculture; intercultural dialogue
