Pavel E. Andrade

My research and teaching focus on Mexican literary and cultural studies, modern and contemporary Latin American literature, critical theory, and geocriticism. My current book project, Modernism's Afterworlds: Capital, Form, and the Mexican Novel's Countertopographical Imagination, examines how the Mexican modernist novel gives spatial form to Mexico's uneven transition from state-led industrialization toward a new export-oriented pattern of capital accumulation. My broader research interests include urban studies, border and migration studies, and the novel’s countertopographical imagination.
