Beatriz Sarlo (born 1942) is an Argentine literary and cultural critic. Sarlo was born in 1942 and studied literature at the undergraduate and graduate levels at the University of Buenos Aires. The writer, critic, and dramatist David Viñas was an early mentor and influence. In 1978, she co-founded Punto de Vista which was one of the major dissident voices during the military regime which ended in 1983

MEDIA CULTURE AND SOCIETY The following studies help provide an.

I want to provide each reader with resources to learn to study, analyze, interpret, and criticize the texts of media culture and to appraise their effects. Thus, media culture has come to dominate everyday life, serving as the ubiquitous background and often the highly seductive foreground of our attention and activity, which many argue is undermining human potentiality and creativity. This book will explore some of the consequences for a society and culture colonized by media culture. Because of the authoritarian nature of the regime, Sarlo and her fellow contributors had to use pseudonyms, and subordinate political questions to aesthetic ones. She has written both on traditional literary topics-her book on Jorge Luis Borges, published in 1993, is one of the seminal works on the great Argentine fabulist-but she has also worked in more cultural areas, such as feminism, the emergence of the modern Argentine city, and Argentina's divided sense of its place in Latin America.

What was, however, even more important was the fact that during the 1930s American culture manifested itself as a multiculture, as a culture that was characterized even more by variety, heterogeneity, tensions, and alternative traditions than by the strong drive toward national identity and consensus.

Others feel that postmodernism reflects a culture of mass media manipulated by the dominating classes. But the debate has been particularly headed by a new group of young writers who consider themselves postmodern and politically progressive: Severo Sarduy of Cuba, Diamela Eltit of Chile, and . Moreno-Duran of Colombia, among others. By examining a group of the most representative innovative writers active today, Williams argues that the postmodern novel in Latin America is as political and valuable as its more traditional and modern predecessors.

In this bracing book by one of Latin America's foremost intellectuals, Beatriz Sarlo offers a remarkably clear, forthright, and forceful statement of what precisely cultural criticism is and might be in our age of manic consumption, commercialization, popularization, and mass marketing.

As postmodernity and late capitalism reinvent culture and society, social and cultural critique must also be reinvented-and in Scenes from Postmodern Life Sarlo aims to show how this might be done. Her readings of cultural practices such as television zapping, playing video games, or trawling the shopping mall; her vignettes of traditional intellectuals and practitioners of high art; her discussions of popular culture and the dissolution of social identities: these, as well as Sarlo's own writerly stance, go a considerable way toward developing the role of thinking in global times. Taking full advantage of the fact that her native Argentina is both fully part of global culture and yet in some ways on its periphery, Sarlo shows how an off-center or decentered perspective can bring the political consequences of the culture industry into sharp relief.

As an introduction to a preeminent Latin American thinker, as a challenge to intellectuals to rethink and revitalize their critical positions, and as an instructive engagement with the politics of global culture, this book will be essential-and electrifying-reading for anyone concerned about the prospects for critical thinking in the new millennium.

Beatriz Sarlo is among the foremost Latin American literary and cultural critics. She works in Buenos Aires but has also taught at Columbia, Maryland, Berkeley, and Cambridge, and has lectured and published widely. Sarlo is the cofounder of the journal Punto de Vista and the author of many books, including Jorge Luis Borges: A Writer on the Edge.
