"The Theater of Truth" argues that seventeenth-century baroque and
twentieth-century neobaroque aesthetics have to be understood as
part of the same complex. The Neobaroque, rather than being a
return to the stylistic practices of a particular time and place,
should be described as the continuation of a cultural strategy
produced as a response to a specific problem of thought that has
beset Europe and the colonial world since early modernity. This
problem, in its simplest philosophical form, concerns the
paradoxical relation between appearances and what they represent.
Egginton explores expressions of this problem in the art and
literature of the Hispanic Baroques, new and old. He shows how the
strategies of these two Baroques emerged in the political and
social world of the Spanish Empire, and how they continue to be
deployed in the cultural politics of the present. Further, he
offers a unified theory for the relation between the two Baroques
and a new vocabulary for distinguishing between their ideological
values.
