	Belonging Beyond Borders\&nbsp;maps the evolution of cosmopolitanism in Spanish American narrative literature through a generational lens. Drawing on a new theoretical framework that blends intellectual studies and literary history with integrated approaches to Spanish American narrative, this book traces the evolution from aesthetic cosmopolitanism through anti-colonial nationalism to modern political cosmopolitanism.



	Cosmopolitanism in Latin America has historically been associated with colonialism. In the mid-twentieth-century, authors who presented cosmopolitan narratives were harshly criticized by their nationalist peers. However, with the intensification of cultural globalization Spanish American authors have redefined cosmopolitanism, rejecting a worldview that relies on the creation of an other for the definition of the self. Instead, this new generation has both embraced and challenged global citizenship, redefining concepts to address human rights, identity, migration, belonging, and more.



	Taking the work of Elena Poniatowka, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Jorge Volpi as examples, this book presents innovative scholarship across literary traditions. It shows how Spanish-American authors offer nuanced understandings of national and global affiliations, and identities and untangles the strings of cosmopolitan thought and activism from those of nationalist criticism.

	In Argentina, street art, while often at the forefront of recent political change, only became a means to express political opinions rather late when compared to other countries{\textemdash}indeed, until the 1990s, governments made sure that the street was not a space for citizens to freely express themselves. This situation changed after the 2001 financial crisis, when the Argentineans reappropriated the streets; political street art and murals, often commissioned by political parties themselves, then became a staple of Argentinean streets. 



	In this paper, I explore the use of street art in Argentina as a means to spur political change. I briefly trace the evolution of street art{\textemdash}the 1968 Tucum{\'a}n Arde, the 1983 siluetazo, and the stencil movement that followed the 2001 financial crisis, amongst others{\textemdash}to then concentrate on more recent examples of street art tied to the Kirchner era (2003-2015) and to Macri. Whereas street art produced by the youth organization La C{\'a}mpora is part of a bigger project to create a visual legacy for late president Kirchner, tags and murals that depict Macri serve to criticize him and his politics.

	This paper analyzes El Para{\'\i}so en la otra esquina (2003), a historical novel that traces the socialist and nationalist trajectories of major figures of the nineteenth century. Vargas Llosa{\textquoteright}s notion of global citizenship is far from communist or socialist articulations, and emphasizes his well-known liberal positions. My reading shows that the parallel trajectories of Flora Trist{\'a}n and Paul Gauguin end tragically due to their ideological shortcomings. I contend that Vargas Llosa re-writes the Latin American historical novel by deterritorializing it, that is, by introducing figures and histories that transcend the continent. His re-articulation of this literary genre allows him to discuss contemporary ideas brought about by the era of globalisation, and tackle present-day issues.
