Abstract
In “Aesthetic Moments of Latin Americanism,” Néstor García Canclini historicizes the changes in Latin American art by identifying three aesthetic moments in the past few decades: a first moment, in the 1960s, when some Latin American texts—the so-called Latin American Boom—functioned as “a herald of utopia,” suggesting the possibility of social change. In the 1980s and 1990s, “a memory of the defeat” reigned over the second moment as fiction persisted in “evoking the dead and the losses, the exiles and the hopelessness” (“Aesthetic” 13). The third moment, beginning with the twenty-first century, is characterized by the “immediateness of the present” (13).
