A Conversation with Luis Beltrán

Abstract

This paper aims to be an informal approach to the work of Luis Beltrán Almería. We point out the two ruptures from which it starts, aesthetic and historical and trace the itinerary of its thought from The Literary Imagination to the last book, Aesthetics of Modernity. We make explicit the theoretical foundation of his work, with particular attention to the Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin and relate his work with the first two books by Luis, on the enunciation in the novel, and with all the rest, about literary aesthetics. Finally, some critical warnings.
