About
Matías Larramendi-Salvat is a PhD candidate. His transdisciplinary work examines the relationship between literature, aesthetics, politics, and critical theory.
His current research mainly focuses on neo-baroque poetry in the Southern Cone, the Caribbean, and Brazil from the 1960s onwards. He understands the neo-baroque as an answer to the moment when an old way of organizing social relations starts to wither away, and a new one has yet to emerge. In other words, he examines the neo-baroque as a flexible tool that opens possibilities to reimagine alternative communities—amidst the world’s neoliberal policies and climate change—and the role of literature itself.
Matías’s research has been published in journals such as Chasqui, Universum, and Décalages.
