Em 1974: : os princípios da Biblioteca Ayacucho

Abstract

This article presents the political discurses mobilized in the construction of Biblioteca Ayacucho, inaugurated in 1974 by the Presidency of Venezuela. Trough the intellectual history, I analyze the mechanisms that initially organized the past that founds both the Biblioteca’s narrative and the concept of Latin America that it exposes. It should be noted that this past is highly plastic and malleable because, to this day, the Bibilioteca Ayacucho, regardless of political uses, is a successful cultural diffusion project with more than forty years of existence.
