The Symbolic Production of Latin American Ideologies in the Post-Covid-19 Era Emilio Barreto Ramirez

For Latin America, Westernization constitutes a first gain: through the concretion of this process, Latin American societies have imposed a kind of handicap on the First World, since the Nation-States, by assuming the Western model of life, culture and government, have given the North a way of resisting hegemonic thinking. This has enabled them to survive and develop as a mechanism within the Western canons: the South with its specificities, but in a Western key. This reality can be translated into the ancestral westernization of Latin America as a dialectical and ambivalent process that achieves a finish in the decision to build a region that in questions of symbolic production and identity understands that to exist and grow is necessary to start looking at the West developed with the techniques and technology of the opulent West itself.
