Outsiders within: Latin American Studies from East Asian Perspectives

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims at contemplating on the contribution of East Asian perspectives to Latin American studies. To do so, the author revisits her own experience of being an East Asian scholar of Latin American studies and argues that East Asian scholars have a special positionality within Latin American studies as an outsider within, which is a theoretical concept raised by Patricia Collins who states that such positionality allows researchers to be more creative and critical. By applying such notion, this paper informs about unique contributions that East Asian perspectives should make to Latin American studies and illustrates a few ways to do so.
