Argentine literature, literature criticism, Beatriz Sarlo, Josefina Ludmer, post-autonomyAbstract
In Scenes from Postmodern Life (1994) by Beatriz Sarlo and through Josefina Ludmer’s concept of “post-autonomous literatures,” these Argentine literary and cultural critics contributed reflections to the debate on the end of art’s autonomy, during a period and in an Argentina marked by the consolidation of globalization and neoliberal capitalism. The central theme in both is literary practice and how it is affected by the transformations that this process entails in the cultural sphere, but especially in the ways critical practice can –or should– respond and reconfigure itself in the face of this new present.
