HiperFeira, International Journal for the Literatures and the Arts is a peer-reviewed journal that was born in 1999 as a project taken by Enrique Escalona and Eduardo Barros. One of the most relevant purposes of such a project was to create the atmosphere of debate that shaped our Stony Brook University days as well as a place to confront the distinct epistemological and hermeneutical values encountered in such a diverse scenario as a department of Peninsular and Latin American Studies in New York.

The aim of HiperFeira, thus, is not only to constitute a theoretical production that reaches a vast number of scholars and researchers of literary concerns; it is also the opening of a plateau of direct discussion and critique. Our means are also to stimulate a search for alternative paths of intellectual examinations. While renowned figures from Spain and the Latin Americas have repeatedly functioned as active contributors to the sections of literary and artistic creation, a strong body of theoretical approaches has also been shaped from an American - European axis, additionally resulting in a collage of transcultural and postcolonial representations and performativities. Juan Carlos Rodríguez read from an American theoretical distance, Cernuda narrated through his relations with Latin America, or the philosophic journey through layers of European, Cuban, and American axiologies represent a vast panorama of the opposed, confronted, and parallel approaches published in HiperFeira.

Literary presence is a milestone in the reconfiguring of the arts that our journal intends to pursue. Through paths of theory and critique, the birth of HiperFeira was intended to perform a call for the recovery of forbidden literary studies based on the books.
