Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of ‘reading Otherwise’. It examines the nature of the place from which the metropolitan critic speaks specifically in relation to Latin American cultures. It also reviews some of the major currents of thinking about the broad postcolonial context in order to see what tools are available for constructing an ethical critical practice. This chapter shows that putting pressure on the unreflective practice of transplanting theory is an important reminder of the ethical dimension of critical practice. It also demonstrates the cultural commodities that travel from the periphery to the metropolis.
