Genre And Geoculture: Enzensberger’S Encounter With Latin American Generic Traditions, Jamie Trnka
Genre And Geoculture: Enzensberger’S Encounter With Latin American Generic Traditions, Jamie Trnka
Faculty Scholarship
Enzensberger’s sustained engagement with Latin American thinkers and literary forms was central to his attempts to shift the parameters of West German debates on literature and politics in the 1960 s. Attention to Latin American exchanges and influences challenges simplistic criticisms of his Eurocentrism and demonstrates how the novel cultural constellations that underlie Enzensberger’s genre innovation engender productive inroads into transatlantic comparative projects.
