Over the past decade, a community of strong program cultural sociologists has developed from Latin America against the background of local traditions in the study of culture that mostly have been influenced by Gramsci and Bourdieu. Here, we will provide an overview of this community—its members, sites of production, and recent publications which mark the leading edges of iconic power theory, cultural trauma theory, social performance theory, and civil sphere theory. In particular, we will try to flesh out how the members of this emerging community have gone about extending the horizon of strong program cultural sociology while seeking to maintain their tune with local intellectual sensibilities in the study of culture across the region.

在过去的十年中，在主要受葛兰西和布迪厄影响的当地文化研究传统的背景下，一个由拉丁美洲强大的项目文化社会学家组成的社区已经发展起来。在这里，我们将概述这个社区——它的成员、生产地点和最近的出版物，这些出版物标志着标志性权力理论、文化创伤理论、社会绩效理论和公民领域理论的前沿。特别是，我们将尝试充实这个新兴社区的成员如何扩展强大的项目文化社会学的视野，同时在整个地区的文化研究中寻求与当地知识分子的敏感性保持一致。
