The Baroque, Modernity, and Postmodernity in Latin American Political Culture

Luis Ochoa Bilbao and Paul Frankel

Review of Policy Research, 2005, vol. 22, issue 5, 727-735

Abstract: This article offers a general view about the contemporary theoretical debate in Latin‐American concerning the idea of modernity. For some authors, modernity is part of Latin‐American history, and its ruts can be found in the baroque experience of the continent, for others, the consequences of modernity such as urbanization, industralization and hope in democracy shows the Latin America is in essence a modern territory, despite the academic difficulties to understand and visualize Latin‐American identity as an integral element of the concept of modernity.
