A Baroque Socialism?
Main Article Content
Abstract
The historical ethos of Modernity is a survival strategy developed by human beings in order to overcome capitalist alienation and to neutralize the fundamental contradiction between value in use and economic value in the “world of life”. Along with it, there are three other modern ethe: the realistic, the romantic and the classic one. The baroque ethos is not a feature of any substantial social identity. It does not belong to the identity of Latin America, but rather this identity preferably appeals to the baroqueethos. A possible socialistmodernity in Latin America will probably bear the traces of the baroque capitalist modernity replaced by it.
