Together with Silvana Mandolessi and Martín Zicarí he has edited a special issue on agency and violence in Latin American culture of the Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (2021) as well as a book on affect and violence (Iberoamericana-Vervuert, 2022), which also pays attention to processes of memorialization.
