, GELS,,,, This essay briefly examined the outcomes and limitations of Latin American Subaltern Studies(Grupo de Estudios Latinoamericanos del Subalterno; GELS) that had explored new research areas and methodologies in Latin American study from 1992 to 2000 The members of this group were independent intellectuals who worked mainly in universities in US They were quite heterogeneous in their intellectual tendencies and research methodologies even though they are referred as a research group They criticized that generalization or wholization tendencies of western theories take the marginal society as an object of analysis and also colonialize the intellectual areas of this society They tried to accomplish the critical overthrow to its gigantic arguments of western theories Their critical perspectives on this gigantic arguments or
paradigm, which have been used in many communications in humanities and social sciences, can be seen in their criticisms on the concepts of nation and social class, which used frequently in the analysis of reality, and their search for an alternative called as subaltern Ileana summarized the criticisms on GELS as two things First of all, it failed to notice the its unique context of Latin American colonial history and racial problems by directly applying South Asian realities surrounding India to Latin America Also, as you can see from its label of 'traveling theory', this theory was developed mainly in the universities in US so there exist concerns for pan-americanism or influence of North America Secondly, the most important and essential thing lies in the positioning of intellectuals who were engaged in the reemergence of subaltern As you can see from the works of Mallon, the eager desire of the reemergence of subaltern resulted in putting their own voice in the front In conclusion, it is widely acknowledged that Latin American study has searched for new research areas and methodologies by introducing outputs of GELS, even though today GELS itself is not taking an active part in Latin American study due to its own limitations and criticisms about reemergence of subaltern, the role of intellectuals working in subaltern, and the establishment of relationships between nation and subaltern Key Words: Subaltern Studies, Subaltenity, Grupo de Estudios Latinoamericanos del Subalterno, Ileana Rodríguez, John Beverley, Florencia Mallon /,,,,, : 2003 11 10 : 2003 11 14
