From the era of revolution to the Empire of Identity: interpreting modernity in Latin America

Abstract

The issue of modernity has been at the heart of Latin American history and, as a result, has been the subject of numerous reflections from the most diverse disciplines and theoretical perspectives. However, most of these reflections have been retained in the canonical definition of modernity, according to which modernity is understood as a more or less linear and cumulative process of rationalisation. This vision has played an important role in Latin American societies. For this reason, a critical review of the very idea of modernity and, in particular, of the ways in which it has been conceived from Latin America, would bring new keys to interpreting the historical history of our societies.
