Latin American vanguardism-a precursor to the widely acclaimed work of contemporary Latin American writers-was stimulated by the European avant-garde movements of the World War I era. But as Unruh's wide-ranging study attests, the vanguards of Latin America-emerging from the continent's own historical circumstances-developed a very distinct character and voice.Through manifestos, experimental texts, and ribald public performance, the vanguardists' work intertwined art, culture, and the politics of the day to produce a powerful brand of aesthetic activism, one that sparked an entire rethinking of the meaning of art and culture throughout Latin America.Latin American literature and culture (Berkeley, Calif.) ;11.Latin American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature, ExperimentalLatin AmericaHistory and criticismAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Latin AmericaLatin American literatureHistory and criticism20th centuryLatin AmericaLiterature, ExperimentalHistory and criticismLatin AmericaAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Romance LiteraturesHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCSpanish LiteratureHILCCLatin AmericaIntellectual life20th centuryLatin American literatureHistory and criticism.Literature, ExperimentalHistory and criticism.Avant-garde (Aesthetics)Latin American literatureHistory and criticismLiterature, ExperimentalHistory and criticismAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Romance LiteraturesLanguages & LiteraturesSpanish Literature860.9/98Unruh Vicky1138128DLCDLCBOOK9910496149103321Latin American vanguards2866605UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
