Neil Larsen: Latinamericanism within the marxist tradition of literary aestheticsKeywords: latinamericanism , literature , Lucaks , marxist tradition , Neil Larsen Abstract: This interview is about Professor Neil Larsen’s biography, since his formative years, focussed in his years in the University of Minnesota, during the Reagan’s administration. It presents a critical analysis of the changes in the American intellectual context during the 80’s, and emphasizes the impoverishment and ‘domestication’ of intellectual life in the United States. On the contrary, Larsen defends the engagement with Lukacs, as necessary to preserve the tradition of the Marxist literary aesthetics.
