Introduction
I am now working on print culture from a new materialist perspective and cultures of reading in Latin American periodicals of the 20th century. I also study the relations of print culture and other media in more recent contexts. My latest project has to do with press clippings in Latin American magazines of the first half of the 20th century. I am interested in clippings as part of print culture and as a way in which Latin America takes part of World designs during that period.
