Book Description
A través de diferentes perspectivas, esta obra reúne una serie de ensayos que reflexionan sobre varios aspectos del pensamiento crítico en Latinoamérica durante los últimos 30 años, enfocándose en temas como la literatura, la violencia y sus representaciones, así como la crítica a través de la historia. Al mismo tiempo, funciona como herramienta para comprender diversos eventos teóricos desde los puntos de vista histórico, cultural y social. Partiendo de los elementos más representativos de la cultura latinoamericana, tales como el poscolonialismo, las guerras de independencia, autores y pensadores e incluso el idioma, "La tradición teórico-crítica en América Latina: mapas y perspectivas" brinda diferentes reflexiones y aproximaciones no sólo para aquellos lectores inmersos en la cultura latinoamericana, sino también para quienes se encuentran por primera vez ante esta cuestión.

Book Description
Modernity in Latin America is defined above all by its multi-layered, kaleidoscopic quality. Reminiscent of Octavio Paz's labyrinth, it is a modernity which has accommodated a piling-on of new traditions to old, a blending of external cultures with local, and of high cultures with more popular ones—mixes which allowed a rich and celebratory avant-garde movement, for example, to emerge in the 1920s, and prompted the explosive growth of cities like Rio de Janeiro. Many such cultural (as well as technological) innovations have occurred without equivalent changes in social and political life, however, and so the region has also been at the mercy of what might be termed an uneven development in many of its civic institutions. In this prestigious volume of original essays, many of the best writers on the region are brought together to examine the nature and manifestations of a specifically Latin American modernity. Beatriz Sarlo and Nicolau Sevcenko write about Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo in an exploration of twentieth century urban experience and shifting patterns of migration and immigration; Renato Ortiz and Ana Lopez look at mass media and the ways in which radio, television and cinema have shaped modernity; Jose Jorge de Carvalho, Jose de Souza Martins and Nelson Manrique address questions of religion, politics, ideology and social movements; Gwen Kirkpatrick and Beatriz Rezende explore the intricacies of artistic and literary modernism; and Nestor Canclini and Ruben Oliven open the collection with essays which unravel the many forces – the legacy of slavery, the freedom from an unquestioning faith in development and 'progress', the impact of globalisation – that have given rise to a characteristically hybrid modernity.
