Abstract

Since the end of the twentieth century, cultural studies has spread in the Americas, first via the Atlantic and then radiating north to south, announcing a series of epistemic and methodological transformations in the study of culture. However, the process had begun decades earlier, when the dust was just beginning to settle from the cataclysm of World War II, with its 70 million deaths, its incalculable economic ruin, and its even more profound civilizational disaster. Humanity had reached an unthinkable limit that would forever alter the perception of the world and the historical imagination.
