MODERNITY ACCORDING TO JOSE JOAQUIN BRUNNER: FROM OEDIPUS TO SISYPHUS<br />
In this article I discuss <strong>José</strong> <strong>Joaquín</strong> <strong>Brunner</strong>’s cultural analysis of Latin American culture centering<br />
on (a) the Latin American meanings of “Mo<strong>de</strong>rnity” and “Postmo<strong>de</strong>rnity,” (b) the meanings of “hybrid”<br />
and “subaltern” experiences as bridges between Postmo<strong>de</strong>rnity and New Spain by way of the “línea<br />
facúndica” (Facundian invariant) of Latin America (Martínez Estrada), (c) the meanings of “mirror”<br />
and “mirroring” as optic allegories of the Latin American subject’s twofold constitution, (d) the<br />
meanings of mo<strong>de</strong>rn culture as “a privileged space of mediations” and as the reve<strong>la</strong>tion of the nation<br />
in a communicative way, and (e) the interpretation of the crossroads, in the Oedipal sense, but with the<br />
inner conviction of the Camusian Sisyphus.
