Abstract

Describe the evolution of tradition is a frequent theme in Latin-American essays. Its treatment has permitted to review the relations between literature and culture, as well as to delimit
territories of the critic. But, on the other hand, we can notice that the essayist makes a particular construction when he devotes to this subject. This work intends to approach Las alusiones perdidas by Carlos Monsiváis, from the self-figurations of the essayist as a reader
of traditions. This particular self-construction allows seeing new performances in the judgments of the canons’ constructions. Re-interpretations of social imaginary turn around the analysis between literature, market, influences and culture from a journey through their
histories of readings.
