초록
Little of the existing research on Latin American immigrants in Japan has concentrated on media produced by Latinos/as in Japan, or the implications of the same for community formation. This study addresses the gap in the literature by focusing on the making of a Latina/o community in Revista Latin-a, a free Spanish-language community magazine published by a Latin American immigrant self-help group in Kobe, Japan. In order to understand how community is constructed in and through the magazine, this study makes use of the concept of ‘textual community’ (Eichhorn 2001). The resulting interpretation of the magazine text suggests that Latin-a functions as a textual space in which Latinidad is (con)textualized and community is both realized and pursued
Abstract

In order to understand how community is constructed in and through the magazine, this study makes use of the concept of ‘textual community’ (Eichhorn 2001).
