Latin America in Intellectual History: Perspectives from the Circulation of Ideas
Abstract
The international circulation of ideas constitutes one of the key problems of Latin American intellectual history. It combines the themes of the central and the peripheral, the universal and the marginal, debates around traditional schemes made of models and deviations, critics of dualistic explanations in terms of originals and copies. In their contributions to intellectual history, circulation and reception of ideas studies reformulates a geopolitics made of metropolises and colonies and discusses the role of Latin America as a mere recipient of foreign ideas. This article approaches those aspects and focus on some theoretical-methodological problems of Michel Foucault’s uses in the region.
