The turbulent continent through the eyes of Marx and Freud.

The turbulent continent through the eyes of Marx and Freud

Description

This book assesses the untimely relevance of Marx and Freud for Latin America, thinkers alien to the region who became an inspiration to its beleaguered activists, intellectuals, writers and artists during times of political and cultural oppression.

Bruno Bosteels presents ten case studies arguing that art and literature—the novel, poetry, theatre, film—more than any militant tract or theoretical essay, can give us a glimpse into Marxism and psychoanalysis. These fields are framed not so much as sciences of history or of the unconscious, respectively, but rather as two intricately related modes of understanding the formation of subjectivity.

Marx and Freud in Latin America provides a compelling analysis of how these influential thinkers have shaped cultural and political landscapes far removed from their places of origin.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Marx and Freud in Latin America by Bruno Bosteels is praised for its originality and insightful approach. The book delves into lesser-known and underappreciated thinkers within Marxist and psychoanalytic traditions in Latin America, making it a refreshing departure from orthodox histories.
