| Sumario: | Communicology theory in Latin America has produced a curious concept, by which W.Benjamin is supposed to have been a strong defender of mass culture. Because of that, he is perceived as a populist author, and then, closely opposed to Adorno, who is known as a cultural elitist one. By such interpretation which becomes from Martin-Barbero works- dessapears every relation between the two writers, until the point that Benjamin is not recognized as a member of Frankfurt Group. This article looks for showing relations from Benjamin with sublime, and so neglecting nowadays mass culture; and relations with Marxism, for underlying his hard opposition to capitalist system, very different from new Latin American theoretical populism. At the same time, this work assumes a position different from B.Sarlo´s one, which makes a closed defense of lettered culture against mass culture. |
