Latin Americanism’s Academic Infrastructures after the Pandemic
Keywords:
Infrastructure, Latin American Studies, Pandemic, HumanitiesAbstract
This article tries to elucidate a first image of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latin American studies by inserting them into the framework of global academic infrastructures. Weaving experience, theory, and a review of the data collected after the health crisis, I defend the thesis that understanding Latin American studies as an infrastructure reveals a more protracted process of transformation and disintegration that the pandemic only exacerbated. In the end, I outline some horizons on what routes the field could take to process the crisis and find ways to survive the deterioration of its institutions.
