José Martí: Aesthetic Discourse on Identity

Fehskens, Matthew Thomas

Abstract Details

2006, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Spanish.
This text approaches the life and work of José Martí through a specifically creative and aesthetic optic. Beginning with his deviation from mainstream positivism in nineteenth century Latin America, the text accomplishes an exploration of how Martí's work and life exemplify his suggestion of identity formed under an understanding of aesthetic humanism, with emphasis on individual autonomy and inviolable worth. By means of deconstructing the idolatry and myth surrounding Martí's image and manipulation in generations posterior to his lifespan, the study refreshes the relevance of Martí in application to contemporary problems of Latin American identity, namely globalization and the neoliberal economic system.
