description

In his 60’s theoretical texts Julio Cortázar wrote about the happening as an avant-garde and radical practice. He underlined as well the difficulties of the 60’s intelligentsia to conceptualize it properly. His novels 62. Modelo para armar and Libro de Manuel experimented with the structure of happening as a model for narrative exploration. In fact, Cortázar used the happening and the debordian idea of situation for giving a possible answer to the main debate about the relationship between critical intelligentsia and political activity.
