What are the main contributions of Hispanic cultural products and practices today? This book is a collection of essays on new critical trends in Hispanic Caribbean thinking. It offers an update on the state of Hispanic Caribbean studies through the discussion of diverse theoretical perspectives around notions of affect, archipelagic thinking, deterritoriality, and queer experiences and subjectivities. These eccentric Caribbean and aquatic imaginaries move beyond those that are circumscribed by identity, nation, insularity, and the colonial epistemologies derived from these conceptions. Due to its cultural and historical specificities, the Hispanic Caribbean constitutes a focus of study crucial to re-thinking global dynamics today.

Este libro aborda las formas de subjetivación que intervenían en las experiencias de feminidad de las mujeres de la colonia hispana de Nueva York, a partir del estudio de la publicidad, las páginas femeninas y las cartas de las lectoras publicadas en el semanario  Gráfico , el diario  La Prensa  y la revista cultural  Artes y Letras . ¿Qué idea de feminidad promovían estas publicaciones? ¿Cómo se explicaba la convivencia de crónicas que censuraban a las mujeres fumadoras con los avisos que vendían cigarrillos en las páginas femeninas? ¿Cómo entender las sátiras a las " flappers  latinas" si en las mismas páginas se celebraban la belleza y fama de las actrices de Hollywood? ¿Cómo respondían las lectoras ante dichas representaciones de feminidad en medio de las dificultades económicas, laborales y de vivienda, y la discriminación racial? Este libro se nutre de estas contradicciones para ofrecer otra manera de aproximarse a la heterogénea colonia hispana de la metrópoli, a partir de una concepción de la feminidad como experiencia moderna que permite inscribir las prácticas y experiencias de las inmigrantes hispanas como parte de los cambios y relatos que han dado forma a la modernidad.
