It documents the emergence and permutations of this production as an index not only of local perceptions of contemporary urban experience and of a contemporary urban \"ecology of fear,\" but also as a transnational index of the globalization of literary forms and markets. It centers on the inscription of urban space in novels set in the metropolitan centers of the Hispanic World: Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, and Barcelona.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlen S.
