De CastroLeiden, the Netherlands ;Boston, Massachusetts :BRILL,[2021]©20211 online resourceHistorical Materialism Book Series ;21790-04-44185-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Influenced by anarchism and especially by anarcho-syndicalist Georges Sorel, the political praxis of Peruvian activist and scholar José Carlos Mariátegui (1894-1930) deviated from the policies mandated by the Comintern. Mariátegui saw only new subjectivities as capable of making a revolution that would not recreate bourgeois or fascist structures. For Mariátegui, a new society required a new culture. Thus, he not only founded the Peruvian Socialist Party, but also created Amauta, a magazine that brought together the writings of the political and cultural avant-gardes. Thus, in addition to studying Mariátegui's views on the political valence of cultural habits and products, Bread and Beauty looks at the cultural underpinnings of the political proposals found in his writings and actions.Historical Materialism Book Series ;217.CommunismHistoryLatin America20th centuryLatin AmericaPolitics and government20th centuryCommunismHistory324.285075092De Castro Juan E.1959-1598525MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816576803321Bread and beauty3920810UNINA
