Explore Edmond Cros’s groundbreaking ‘Theory and Practice of Sociocriticism,’ a seminal work now available through Minnesota Archive Editions. This book offers a unique approach to literary analysis, bridging Spanish and Mexican texts with contemporary European theory. Cros introduces ‘sociocriticism,’ a method that uncovers the ‘ideological traces’ and social tensions within texts, moving beyond purely structural analysis. Discover how Cros differentiates between semiotic and ideological elements to reveal the irreducible social nature of literature. This essential volume delves into theories by Foucault and Bakhtin, then applies them to diverse works like the film Scarface and writings by Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes. For scholars and students of literary theory and Hispanic studies seeking a deeper understanding of literature’s social dimensions.
