Bilateralismos y multilateralismos del exilio republicano

Abstract

This article analyzes two relational phenomena that occur in the political and literary-artistic practice of the Spanish exile: on the one hand, the forms of bilateral solidarity, which leave shapes the life and work of many exiles, and, on the other hand, the aspirations to form multilateral communities, in the context of the League of Nations and the United Nations or as alternatives to these. Both forms of relating to each other are problematic for several reasons discussed in the article, although they are still perceived as an ideal and give rise to concepts such as the «transterrado» and to collective cultural projects such as those of the cinema. They also explain, to a certain extent, the central place occupied by Mexico in the representation of the republican exile.
