Papeles de viento. Ensayos sobre literaturas heterogéneas

This anthology gathers the main essays by Antonio Cornejo Polar; the reader will find here the approaches that the Peruvian teacher and critic made to reread and rewrite Latin American literary history, as well as to rethink the theoretical-critical and methodological tools in order to build their own criticism, detached from a new understanding of our literatures , from its specificities. In this way, the author formulates various guidelines that contributed to the intellectual project that he himself proposed – and to which other Latin American scholars and intellectuals joined -, it is from these that he came to formulate categories such as that of contradictory totality, socio-heterogeneity- cultural, in addition to proposing a rethinking of the modern subject with its idea of a migrant and heterogeneous subject.
