Main Article Content
Abstract
The text offers a comparative conceptual reflection on the culturally and historically different formations of narratives and literatures, in which the representation of either drug conflicts or the impact of psychoactive substances toward consciousness alteration play a major role. The notion of a Western psychoactive modernity is presented as a framework in order to historicize and thus distinguish a contemporary Latin American narcoimagination from Western European narcoliteratures.
