563 - Thinking with Plants and Animals through Latin American Texts Saturday, 10 January 2026 5:15 PM - 6:30 PM MTCC - 602B Description Panelists explore the intersection of critical plant studies and critical animal studies in Latin American cultural production, reconsidering the ethics, agency, and representation of nonhuman life by examining literature, film, and visual arts from the region. Discussion focuses on how plants and animals shape multispecies narratives, challenging human-centered frameworks in the humanities.

Víctor Sierra Matute looks at the figure and ideological function of the ‘prince of Spanish lyric poetry’ Garcilaso de la Vega to trace how literary canonization is a historically layered process shaped by evolving disciplinary frameworks in RQ vol. 72.3.
