- To precise further what Bergson is read by Mariátegui.Topics discussed in supervision: Being Chapters I and II the First Part, we defined the structure and contents of the Second Part, which is being written up now and corresponds to the foremost hypothesis on the particularity of Latin America that followed Mariátegui.
