Alexis Herrera

Alexis Herrera is a PhD student in literature working across U.S. Latina/o/x and Latin American literature and culture. He maintains interests in psychoanalytic theory, deconstruction, Marxism, political theory, and film and media studies. His research is largely concerned with aesthetic encounters with violence, class domination, and sovereign power along the U.S.-Mexico Border and the American West. He is particularly interested in the various ways absence—as limit or gap—is both produced and put to work by American territorial sovereignty and seeks to examine its figuration across 20th and 21st-century theory, literature, poetry, photography, and film.
