Ernst Bloch nel suo libro del 1935, Erbschaft dieser Zeit (Eredità di questo tempo), riprendendo un giudizio espresso a più riprese da Marx, scrisse a proposito della Germania: 

[è] il paese classico della non contemporaneità [klassische Land der Ungleichzeitigkeit], ossia dei residui non superati di un’esistenza e una coscienza economica più antiche. […]

Latin American Marxism as Critique of the Philosophy of the History of Capital

Abstract: The following article is a panoramic presentation of what might be considered as the defining problematic of Latin American Marxism. However, far from claiming a substantive notion of Latin American Marxism, we attempt to show how the kind of questions elaborated within this horizon are relevant not only for the critique what has been erroneously conceived of as peripherical capitalism, but for the history and critique of capitalism as such, understood as … Continua a leggere

José Carlos Mariátegui

Abstract: In what follows I will provide some elements for constructing Mariátegui’s plural spatiotemporal conception of history. I will do so by primarily focusing on the two books he published in his lifetime: The contemporary scene and Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality. It a footnote in the Seven Essays, the reader encounters a concept that opens up the problem of plural temporality in Latin American Marxism: relativismo histórico (historical relativism). This will be the keystone concept upon which certain fragments of … Continua a leggere

René Zavaleda Mercado

René Zavaleta Mercado: Latin American Marxisms, National Stories, Abigarradas Social Formations 

Abstract: The present work seeks to replenish the problem of the temporalities superimposed in the work of the Bolivian René Zavaleta Mercado (1937-1984). To do this, you work on three combined planes. First, the conditions of possibility of Marxism in Latin America from its possible conjugation with the national stories and the struggles that those stories suppose, that is, the complex link between the universal and the local, between Europe and Latin America, between … Continua a leggere

Raul Prebisch

Against the Idea of Progress. Raúl Prebisch and the Latin American dependentista School 

Abstract: For two centuries we have thought about temporality and history with the category of progress: from the first formulations of the Enlightenment to the Rostow theory of development stages. An important criticism of the latter author comes from the Latin American dependentista school which – starting with Raúl Prebisch – explains the differences in economic development not in temporal terms (backwardness / modernity) but in spatial and geopolitical … Continua a leggere

José Aricó, Plural Temporality and the Question of the Nation: Towards Marxism as a Theory of Translation 

Abstract: This text intends to underline the centrality that the problem of plural temporality has in the work of José Aricó, especially in his reflection on the conditions of possibility of a Latin American Marxism. For this, his book Marx and Latin America is fundamentally analyzed together with a set of notes and drafts from his archive regarding it. It is argued that, in Aricó, the key to a reading … Continua a leggere

Juan Carlos Portantiero

Gramsci Theorist of the Conjuncture according to Juan Carlos Portantiero 

Abstract: The article shows the reading of Gramsci offered by Portantiero, a reading that not only enhances aspects of Gramsci’s work on which later critics will dwell extensively, but also connects them, subterraneously, without making it explicit, with the theory of differential temporality, the theoretical heart of Reading Capital. This extraordinary theoretical operation, carried out from Mexican exile during the dictatorship, makes it possible to read not only a “new” Gramsci, … Continua a leggere

The Problem of the Plural Temporality in Álvaro García Linera 

Abstract: The article aims to introduce the problem of plural temporality in the work of Álvaro García Linera as a contribution to 21st century Marxism. The proposal is to define plural temporality as a problem of materialist tradition based on the reflections of Vittorio Morfino and Natalia Romé. We mention four characteristics that seem fundamental to us since they return in the work of García Linera: 1) the repositioning of a theory of time as non-contemporary; 2) … Continua a leggere
