Anatomia de Roberto Schwarz

The idea of carrying out an anatomy of Roberto Schwarz finds its justification in the paradox that, while it is increasingly internationally acclaimed, the intelectual contexto in which such acclaim takes place is shaped by theoretical presuppositions and interpretative practices utterly at odds with the spirit of Schwarz’s writings. (The article form itself is already witness to this.) By characterizing the way Schwarz’s critical imagination works, rather than insisting on its conceptual content, the intention here is to facilitate its transmission as a dialectical craft, which is averse to sheer analytical rigor, as the cucumbers herein discussed attest.
