The Absolute Limit of Latinx Writing

Abstract

In recent years, decoloniality has emerged as a topic of critical inquiry across Latinx writing studies. This article examines the politics and stakes of this scholarship and argues that Latinx writing has reached an impasse in its project to theorize alternatives to Western epistemologies of writing. Drawing from deconstruction and subaltern studies, we propose to think Latinx writing at its “absolute limit.”
