Download or read book Appropriating Theory written by José Eduardo González and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, Jose Eduardo Gonzalez focuses on Rama's response to and appropriation of European critics like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Georg Lukacs. Gonzalez 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.
