Benito Milla: a Ulises desgraciado in the Río de la Plata. From Cuadernos Internacionales to Mundo Nuevo, from Libertarian Socialism to Antiwar Humanism

Abstract

The following article aims to recover the cultural management of the Spanish republican exiled in Montevideo Benito Milla between the 1950s and 1965s. Since his arrival in Montevideo, encouraged by his anarchist ideals, Milla sets up a reference space for the Uruguayan culture that is reconfiguring a humanist and anti-war left wing. Through its magazines Cuadernos Internacionales, Deslinde, Letras 62, Número (2ndep.) and Temas, but also through the editorials that he creates for the diffusion of the new talents of the Generation of 45: Deslinde and Alfa, Milla constitutes himself in a fundamental link to understand the strong expansion of Uruguayan culture in those years.
