Baroque and modernity hermeneutics II

Abstract

In the first part of this work ("Baroque and modernity hermeneutics I"), we described the texts of some critics, writers and intellectuals of the xx century who analyzed the 1600 European culture. From their work, we distinguished two perspectives: a perspective that says there is a return of the Baroque in the modern times and another that believes that the Baroque is inseparable from the 1600 European. Then we extracted a set of shared ideas. In this second part we propose a minimal historical reconstruction of these lines of interpretation.
