Literature, Culture, and Aesthetics

In this article we intend to demonstrate in how far the discussion about Latin American baroque and neo-baroque “catalysed” the approximations and cultural dialogues between Brazil and Hispanic America in the 20th century. The central axis of our analysis is the Brazilian poet, translator and critic Haroldo de Campos, who regretted the lack of approaches on several occasions and who tried to establish cultural bridges between both sides. After giving a short overview about his relationship to the Hispanic Literatures and his thoughts about a non-hierarchical conception of literature, we are going to focus on his theoretical considerations about the baroque as starting point to rethink Latin American Literature. Moreover, we intend to show some of the implicit and explicit literary dialogues between Brazil and Hispanic America which arised both from the historical and the neo-baroque.
