Session Submission Summary

Public Intellectuals, Democracy and Liberalism in the History of Latin America

Sat, May 28, 9:45 to 11:15am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel will examine the role ‘public intellectuals’ in the history of Latin American looking in particular at the ways they conceptualized the notions of democracy and liberalism. While the focus is on the 19th century, the panel will also look at how 20th century public intellectuals perceived the liberal and democratic trajectories of the previous century. While some papers will look at individual cases, others will look at their role more collectively. We will start by looking at the emergence of a new type of intellectual, to then move on to discuss experiences in Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico.
