ISBN-13: 978-1-85984-205-8, ISBN: 1-85984-205-4

"Carlos Fuentes once observed that to be a Spanish American intellectual was to fulfill the roles, by default, of "a tribune, a member of parliament, a labor leader, a journalist, a redeemer of his society." Such statements reflect the view that the region's intellectuals have often acted as substitutes for the structures of a civil society. An alternative view casts Spanish American intellectuals in a far more reactionary role. Here, it ..."

"Roland Barthes's declared the death of the author in 1968. Though Barthes was later to refine his categorical assertion, the declaration became, arguably, the most famous slogan for the fast-growing field of "theory". In 1969, Foucault published a piece that lends its title to this collection of essays.

ISBN-13: 978-1-137-01897-7, ISBN: 1-137-01897-6

"Why has "America" - that is, the United States of America - become so much more than simply a place in the imagination of so many people around the world? In both Europe and Latin America, the United States has often been a site of multiple possible futures, a screen onto which could be projected utopian dreams and dystopian nightmares.
