The article "Biopoetics for biopolitics. Latin American literary thought in the face of the animal question" is a review of Julieta Yelín's book. Yelín's essay analyzes the representation of the human-animal in contemporary Latin American literature using the concept of biopoetics. The book is divided into two parts, "Readings" and "Writings," where the tensions between life, politics, and literature are explored, and the representations of the animal in recent fictions are analyzed. The author proposes a revaluation of the animal and the irrational as sources of theoretical and artistic creation. [Extracted from the article]
