Abstract
Signs Preceding the End of the World by the Mexican writer Yuri Herrera examines the emergence of a liberal cosmopolitan subjectivity based on the revision of Nahuatl katabasis. Herrera uses this mythologem to symbolize the persistence of violence and colonial inequities exerted, as a historical continuum, on the fragile migrant body. In this journey through the necropolitics of territorial, cultural and identity borders, the importance of intercultural mediation is highlighted as a mechanism of ethical repair of rituals and memories and, therefore, following Kwame A. Appiah, of practices of writing and reading of global stage.
