Beskrivning
Angel Rama (1926-1983) is a major figure in Latin American literary and cultural studies, but little has been published on his critical work. In this study, José Eduardo González focuses on Rama's response to and appropriation of European critics like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Georg Lukács. González argues that Rama realized the inapplicability of many of their theories and descriptions of cultural modernization to Latin America, and thus reworked them to produce his own discourse that challenged prevailing notions of social and cultural modernization.

Recensioner i media

A fascinating and innovative study of Angel Rama's silent and open dialogue with his intellectual interlocutors and the effects this dialogue had on Rama's notion of 'cultural modernization.' It follows Rama's evolution chronologically as a thinker who reflects on and writes about the impact of economics, politics, and society on literary matters in Latin America from colonial times to the late twentieth century.
