Abstract

LIZANA, Emilio Gordillo. Digital Writings of the Common: Subversive Practices in the Latin American Digital Literature of the 21st Century. Acta poét [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.1, pp.97-116.  Epub Mar 10, 2023. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2023.44.1.005735x23.

This article seeks to open an analytical space to approach digital works produced in Latin America from a common perspective. It proposes that, by approaching digital artworks from the politics of the commons, it is possible to recognize a series of subversive practices that involve diverse agencies, cosmotechniques and values of use to the global north, in the context of a digital world increasingly normativized by surveillance capitalism, neo-extractivism and the primacy of exchange value.

Through the analysis of diverse works gathered in archives of Latin American digital literature, I seek to recognize the patterns related to common practices, in order to understand what differences and contributions these works propose as Latin American situated works, especially with respect to the displays of reappropriation of common goods contained in language, disputing conceptions of alternative times to capital through collaborative exercises of production, promotion of use value over exchange value or denaturalization of languages of dispossession along with their contradictions and historical modern violence.

Keywords : Latin American E-literature; Common Processes; Cosmotechnics; Common Politics.
