Abstract

This text describes the rise of discursive forms in Latin American society since the so-called Washington Consensus until today and their implications for the national cultural industries field. The paper is divided into two sections. The first discusses the category of cosmopolitics, a neologism that seeks to emphasize the economic and political models of actions and their connections with contemporary sensibilities. The second is focused on debates about media and the virtualization of Latin American, a sort of reorganization process involving institutions and identities that surpasses a former system of representation based on national cronotopos, seeking to achieve new cognitive patterns in the media. It deals with physical immigration and the migration of tastes, as well as new structures of cultural agency and production, and new modalities of consumption and symbolic reproduction.
