In a comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of modern and postmodern literature,film, art, and visual culture, Monika Kaup examines the twentieth century's recovery of the baroquewithin a hemispheric framework embracing North America, Latin America, and U.S. Latino/a culture. As",neobaroque", comes to the forefront of New World studies, attention to transculturaldynamics is overturning the traditional scholarship that confined the baroque to a specific period,class, and ideology in the seventeenth century. Reflecting on the rich, nonlinear genealogy ofbaroque expression, Neobaroque in the Americas envisions the baroque as ananti-proprietary expression that brings together seemingly disparate writers and artists andcontributes to the new studies in global modernity.
