Magazines and avant-garde movements in Literary Histories: forms of a desynchronized time

Abstract

The following magazines: Ciclo (Pellegrini, Pichón Rivière, Piterbarg: 1948-1949), A partir de cero (Molina: 1952, 1956), Poesía Buenos Aires (Aguirre: 1950-1960), y Letra y línea (Pellegrini: 1953-1954), were representative of what then was known as the '50 avant-garde movement. While there seems to be a clear chronological delimitation, which could be limited to the period 1944-1960, this avant-garde raises various periodization problems for the most recents Literary Histories. Such problems account for the instability that is lodged in the category of "epoch". The following paper will propose the consideration of other notions such as "iterability", "anachronism" and "return".
