México-La Habana-MadridAdolfo Sánchez Vázquez en el eje transatlántico de la guerra fría

Resumo

The article analyzes the intellectual activity of Hispanic-Mexican philosopher Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez in the transatlantic axis of communist culture during the Cold War. Using unpublished file documentation, it reconstructs discussions in which Sánchez Vázquez participated as a militant of the Spanish Communist Party delegation in Mexico, his break from the organization’s centralist politics, the aesthetic-praxeological turn in his conception of Marxism, his presence in intellectual and artistic debates after the Cuban revolution and, finally, his influence on art criticism in Spain, linked to anti-Franco communism. It thus expands on the scope of the consequences of his re-reading of the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 and his attempt to rethink Marxism beyond diamat orthodoxy and Althusser’s structuralism.
