Las revistas culturales como documentos de la historia latinoamericana

In this paper we analyze Latin American magazines as documents of culture, in terms of Benjamin, because they allow us to dissect a particular state of the intellectual field. Also collective texts help us to understand cultural and political projects developed in a period of time. Since they are discursive forms related to journalism, the reviews are seen here as a symptom of dependence between the press and literature, one of the prominent features of our process of cultural autonomy. Likewise, we offer methodological proposals to approach these texts based on the confluence between the History of Ideas and the Sociology of Culture.
