Emociones, translocalidad y comunes. Retos para la investigación sobre culturas populares en América Latina

The purpose of the article is to make a critical approach to the challenges currently presented by the study of popular cultures in Latin America. For this, some of the problems that led to this object of study occupying a secondary place compared to subalternity studies are explored, leaving a blind spot for the understanding of dynamics that are determining some of the great social commitments of Latin America. Subsequently, the importance of addressing the production of the common in culture is explained, especially through collective meanings and emotions, in order to understand how the popular transits between different global, local, virtual, and face-to-face orders. Therefore, a redefinition of the notion of translocality is proposed, as well as the use of the notion of worlds of sense to study the production of intermedial narrations, from the perspective of authors such as Jesús Martín Barbero and Hermann Herlinghaus.
