This dissertation analyses Ángel Rama (1926-1983) s trajectory in the decades of 1970 and 1980, focusing on the Uruguayan intellectual s exile in Venezuela, the United States and France. Initially, it deals with the historicity of his criticism and with the way he sets up an American utopia. Then, it is analyzed his subjectivity drawn in the Diario, which he had been keeping since 1974. Afterwards, it discusses his integration into Venezuela and into the intellectual environment of that country. So far, this study concentrates in October and in December 1974, when Biblioteca Ayacucho was founded. Nevertheless, the journal has been interrupted by its author between 1974 and 1977. Thus, rather than interpreting the Diario, it is studied his performance in Venezuelan press between 1976 and 1977. Subsequently, it is discussed the reason why Rama had lived outside Latin America. Finally, it approaches Rama s participation into American academia and the way he has built his perspective on Venezuela, as well as on the Latin American studies carried out beyond Latin America.
