New literary journal: Textos Híbridos

Textos Híbridos: revista de estudios sobre la crónica latinoamericana is a new journal dedicated to the study of the Latin American chronicle from the Conquest to the present day. The journal, directed by our graduate student Amber Workman, aims to lend visibility to the chronicle as a serious and important genre worthy of its own scholarly review and to promote dialogue on a form that has been perpetually overlooked. The journal invites studies on the chronicle from any disciplinary perspective or critical approach and encourages the extension of the genre beyond its traditional boundaries to include any form or topic. Theoretical works on the chronicle are especially welcome as are interviews, book reviews, and works that consider the chronicle from a transhistorical and transnational focus. Studies on the chronicle from any part of Latin America are considered including the crónica chicana/latina written in the United States. (Journal directed by graduate student Amber Workman)
