VINDEL, Jaime. Mexico-Havana-Madrid: Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez on the Transatlantic Axis of the Cold War. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.112, pp.33-66. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2018.112.2627.

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 Using unpublished file documentation, it reconstructs discussions in which Sánchez Vázquez participated as a militant of the Spanish Communist Party delegation in Mexico, his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.
