Sommario/riassunto |
|
Focusing on the cultural practices of the lower classes and specifically on the productions of the murgas, Carnival Theater is a consideration of Uruguayan society's identity crisis and subsequent redefinition in the wake of the regimes of the 1970's. A revealing work of cultural criticism, the book proposes a new set of criteria for the critique of national culture. |
