Ruth Solarte’s research interests focus on the cultural and political normalization of different types of violence in Latin American and US Latino territories from the perspective of biopolitics, history, and gender and memory studies. Ruth examines contemporary literature and visual arts as a space of symbolic resistance vis-a-vis violence against women in territories struck by authoritarian regimes, armed conflicts, marginalization, and migration. Her research proposes crossing and connecting scholarly geographical limits that have been traditionally delimited as Southern Cone, the Central American Isthmus, and the Latinx USA. Ruth’s articles have been published in peer review journals like Revista de Estudios de Género y Sexualidades; Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures; Decimonónica; and Cincinnati Romance Review.
