Dossier Profane forms. Cultural criticisms essays

Presentation

Abstract

This volume contains an experience of encounter, dialogue and discursive elaboration around critical analysis and literary, artistic and cultural research on Latin America and, in particular, Venezuela, carried out at the Center for Critical and Sociocultural Research of the Institute of Higher Studies from Latin America at the Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas, between the last months of 2015 and the first of 2018: «Formas profanas. Laboratorio de crítica cultural». The works gathered in this volume show the heterogeneity of interests of those who make up this kind of small group gathered around the same commitment to make cultural criticism an act of intellectual responsibility.
