In \u003ci\u003eThe X Catalogue, \u003c\/i\u003eClaudia Milian offers a \u003ci\u003evade mecum\u003c\/i\u003e of Madrid, exploring it as an ecological archive and former imperial metropolis. Approaching the \"X\" as metaphor, method, and philosophical practice, she extends inquiry beyond the human. Milian traces the \"X\" through transplanted life from the Americas: the roots of the \u003ci\u003eahuehuete\u003c\/i\u003e tree (the Montezuma cypress), the engineering and renaming of the \u003ci\u003eacocoxochitl\u003c\/i\u003e (the dahlia), the \"invasion\" of the \u003ci\u003ecotorras argentinas\u003c\/i\u003e (Monk parakeets), and the exhibition of the \u003ci\u003ecaimán\u003c\/i\u003e (the alligator) as a conquered object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritical theory and historical cultural studies meet to remap the Atlantic world through the \"Xs\" of arrival, circulation, and transformation. By examining how LatinXness inhabits the Spanish capital, Milian breaks open LatinX Spain and global LatinX studies. \u003ci\u003eThe X Catalogue\u003c\/i\u003e resists containment, mirroring its objects of study and challenging categories such as native, foreign, or authentic. It advances a more-than-human, transatlantic understanding of LatinXness within empire studies, environmental humanities, and the critical study of tourism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and\/or extended descriptions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57459888587096,"sku":"9781517921941","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/x-catalogue-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
