Abstract

Jorge Mañach (1898-1961) was one of the most important Cuban intellectuals in the first half of the XXth century and his cultural essays reached continental fame. Although, numerous authors agree in identify him for these elements, the certain thing is that he doesn’t still integrate the index of authors from Latin America that are recognized inside the tradition of the Latin American Cultural Studies. On the other hand, their contribution has neither been recognized to the development of the theory of the art, because it persists the idea that this discipline still has limitations in its epistemic development in our region. This paper pretends to meditate on Jorge Mañach’s cultural essays, starting from its relationship with the Latin American Cultural Studies and its contribution to the theory of the art in Cuba.
