Jorge Coronado

Jorge Coronado is professor of modern Latin American and Andean literatures and cultures at Northwestern University. His work draws from various disciplines and cultural practices, such as history, archaeology, anthropology, consumption, photography, and literature. He is the author of The Andes Imagined: Indigenismo, Society, and Modernity and Portraits in the Andes: Photography and Agency, 1900–1950 and the coeditor of Visiones de los Andes: Ensayos críticos sobre el concepto de paisaje y región. His continuing interests center on how Latin America and its regions have cohered in the cultural imagination since the early nineteenth century; the lettered practices that subalterns produced by appropriating intellectuals’ tutelage to their own ends in the twentieth century; and expanding what we understand to be the continent’s lettered and cultural production through archival research and other initiatives.
