The Labyrinth of Modernism and Avant-garde in the Iberian Peninsula: Portuguese-Spanish "Dramatis Personae"

Abstract

The period of modernism and the avant-garde in the Iberian region may be interpreted as a continuum, with no radical aesthetic divide, shaping a multiple and heterogeneous view of modernity in the peninsula, allowing to observe the contact elements among writers, literary movements, schools and trends, from a supranational perspective, as an active and dynamic polisystem where hegemonic and fringe (peripheral) literatures alternate.
