His dissertation project, "Writing the Runa: Indigenous Narrative Practice in Twentieth Century Andean Literature" examines how Andean and Amazonian epistemologies and cultural practices offer counter-hegemonic textual and literary strategies that invert archetypal representations of "el indio" from a sculpted object of study to an active subject in their own lettered expressions. Alongside Dr. Jorge Coronado, Stephen recently published the anthology "Anarquismos y marxismos en Bolivia, Ecuador, y Peru" (2023, Ediciones Achawata) that considers the cultural and political crossroads regarding Indigenous autonomy in Andean nations throughout the twentieth century. His work has additionally been published in "Revista de crítica literaria latinoamericana" (Vol. XLVIII, No. 96, 2023) and "Periphērica" (Vol. 1, No. 2, 2020). https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-02/de-la-globalizacin-del-discurso-capitalista-formulado-por-jacques-lacan-a-la-salida-mortfera-de-la-estructura-social-discursiva-el-ejemplo-de-los-suruwaha monthly 0.5 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/321e7ab6-db25-4f77-9134-759b83797967/4.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/fafeb798-5c53-465b-a0d6-77f2cd5c1b17/8.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/1c8bcd22-e07a-40b9-91e2-ea021c5720f0/7.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/97e2687b-0866-462d-93e5-435ca9fb3ea0/6.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/fde59981-89c6-461f-92d3-a7a68fcbbdac/5.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/abc2a9ac-9a6a-4fd1-a031-241ac6810140/1.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/2ff79371-2890-4041-bfed-e8b46147f121/2.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/8a704d9b-fbc0-4328-936e-bdb2537bd96f/jorge-marugan-kraus.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Biografía Jorge Marugán (Doctor en Psicología, UCM) es Profesor del Departamento de Psicología Evolutiva de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, y miembro del Grupo de Investigación “Aplicaciones del Arte en la Integración Social: Arte, Terapia y Educación.” Sus líneas de investigación son la psicología clínica y el proceso psicoterapéutico, la constitución de la subjetividad y las estructuras clínicas, el vínculo social, los malestares sociales y los síntomas contemporáneos, entre otras áreas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/56e67903-89b6-461e-bf7f-c723d24d4130/3.png Blog Issue 02 - De la globalización del Discurso Capitalista formulado por Jacques Lacan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-02/atravesando-fronteras-el-papel-de-lo-fantstico-en-la-construccin-de-la-memoria monthly 0.5 2023-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/32b9e763-c8cf-4d25-96ae-51a2ca96e5b6/Imagen_perfil.jpg Blog Issue 02 - Atravesando fronteras: el papel de lo fantástico en la construcción de la memoria - About the Author Juan Miguel Martínez Martínez (Ph.D., Education, Universidad de Granada) is a student of the M.A. in Spanish at Idaho State University.

She thinks at the intersection of performance, visual culture, and literature about irreverent genealogical practices in the migratory ruptures between modernity and coloniality. Her research explores how Spanish post-migrant cultural workers—from the generation born or primarily socialized in contemporary Spain with familial ties to migration—translate their ancestral archives and repertoire into their poetics, practices, and politics. Oana’s own life is traversed by migration from Romania to the United States, which has also inspired her decade-long investment in migrant justice work. https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/storytelling monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/stigma monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/agrarian+reform monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/extractivism monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/indigenous+studies monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/mental+health monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/textiles monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/peru monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/psychoanalysis monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/affect+studies monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/literature monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/abject monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/eco-activism monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/universities monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/liminality monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/trans-media monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/land monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Andean+studies monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Chile monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/social+media monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/resilience monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/climate+change monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/violence monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/poetry monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/trauma monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/UW+Land+Tenure+Center monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Visual+Studies monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/U.S.+Foreign+Policy monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/for-profit+colleges monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/mining monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/water monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/digital+narratives monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Cuba monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Cold+War monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/performance monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/migration monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/translation monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Mexico monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/educational+reforms monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/time monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/Peru monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/more-than-human monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/blog-issue-03/tag/care monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03 daily 0.75 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/juan-f-egea monthly 0.5 2025-01-06 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/cjomwdoyu6cy9tu24tslzg8beg7mgy monthly 0.5 2025-01-06 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/jamie-de-moya-cotter monthly 0.5 2025-01-06 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/diego-alegra monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/addison-nace monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/anneli-marissa-aliaga monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/logan-krishka monthly 0.5 2025-01-29 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/fidel-revilla-arizaca-tk3mx monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/roco-gonzlez-espresati monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://www.lacisreview.org/editors-03/category/Guest+Editor monthly 0.5 https://www.lacisreview.org/about daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6307d7d973852f05d1e609e9/318b958c-9024-44fa-a16b-04575e009d9e/LACISLogo+2.png https://www.lacisreview.org/contact daily 0.75 2025-01-29 https://www.lacisreview.org/subscribe daily 0.75 2022-08-27 https://www.lacisreview.org/issue-01 daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://www.lacisreview.org/issue-02 daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://www.lacisreview.org/contact-spanish daily 0.75 2024-05-01 https://www.lacisreview.org/contact-portuguese daily 0.75 2024-05-01 https://www.lacisreview.org/issue-03 daily 1.0 2025-01-29 https://www.lacisreview.org/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-29
