Descolonizar los Estudios cubanos interdisciplinarios/Decolonizing Interdisciplinary Cuban Studies

This series publishes scholarly and creative contributions to the global field of Cuban Studies. Written in English or Spanish (or a combination), the titles in this series include monographs, edited volumes, translations of academic studies and works that combine academic and creative work around a theme or concept. The series centres on the concept of decolonization, and represents a turn towards perspectives that steer clear of cultural hegemonies and that are built on a multiplicity of voices, ideas and projects that are all integrated on equal terms and on the basis of inherent rigour. In this sense, the series aims to decolonize Cuban Studies by allowing for productive dialogue between scholars in the arts, social sciences and humanities in Cuba, and between Cuban scholars and Cubanists elsewhere. It privileges approaches and concepts that recognise ecologies of knowledge – the multiple and complex interactions between knowledge and power in Europe, the US and Latin America and the Caribbean – and it especially encourages perspectives from the Global South. It embraces interdisciplinarity and co-production and creates a unique space for local and peripheral visions of Cuba to be seen. The mission of the series is to provide a place for dialogue and new collaborations in the broad field of Cuban Studies through linking the local, the national and the transnational in productive conversations designed to decolonize our understanding of Cuba. Esta colección publica contribuciones académicas y creativas al campo global de los Estudios cubanos. Escritos en inglés o español (o una combinación), los títulos de esta colección incluyen monografías, volúmenes editados, traducciones de estudios académicos y trabajos que combinan trabajos académicos y creativos en torno a un tema o concepto. La colección parte del concepto de descolonización, que representa un giro hacia una visión despojada de hegemonismos culturales, sustentada en la multiplicidad de voces, ideas y propuestas que la integran en igualdad de condiciones y preeminencia científica. En tal sentido, la colección tiene como objetivo descolonizar los Estudios Cubanos al permitir un diálogo productivo entre académicos en las artes, ciencias sociales y humanidades en Cuba, y entre académicos cubanos y cubanistas en otros lugares. Privilegia enfoques y conceptos que reconocen las ecologías del saber –las múltiples y complejas interacciones entre saber y poder en Europa, Estados Unidos y América Latina y el Caribe– y alienta especialmente las perspectivas del Sur global. Abarca la interdisciplinariedad y la coproducción y crea un espacio único para que se vean las visiones locales y periféricas de Cuba. La misión de la colección es proporcionar un lugar para el diálogo y nuevas colaboraciones en el amplio campo de los Estudios cubanos a través de la vinculación de lo local, lo nacional y lo transnacional en conversaciones productivas diseñadas para descolonizar nuestra comprensión de Cuba.

United States Studies: Culture, Politics, Media

The United States Studies: Culture, Politics, Media Series is addressed to scholars and students from various disciplines with a general interest in multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary study of the United States and whose research is inspired by diverse approaches to the analysis of cultural, social, and political phenomena as seen from the perspective of broadly understood media, i.e., film, television, press media, new media, visual arts and literature. The Editors of the series welcome original, previously unpublished research from individual scholars as well as edited volumes which exploit a well defined cultural, social, or political aspect of the United States.
