Abstract
This paper defines art theory’s epistemic status and scope as part of a broader cultural thought program in Cuba during the first half of the Twentieth Century. A work of this nature allows us to relocate in time the emergence of a cultural thought that creatively assumed the contributions of Germany, France, the United States and the UK. Cultural essays written by Fernando Ortiz, Jorge Mañach and Alejo Carpentier also considers the influences, scope and limitations of these author’s art theory reflections. This interdisciplinary inquiry is anchored in the hermeneutical paradigm and based on the methodological principles of art theory, the sociology of culture and literary studies.
