| Summary: | The figure of César Vallejo highlights the limits and blind spots of Spanish Hispanoamericanism of the 1920s. His contact with the «unofficial sphere» of Spanish and Latin American painters in Paris was crucial for the development of his poetics of sensibility, which questioned the postulates that Guillermo de Torre and José Ortega y Gasset defended from Madrid. This is what Vallejo’s journalistic chronicles show, and this can explain the silence that followed the reception of the Favorables – París – Poema magazine in Spain. The Spanish cultural world was not mature enough to accept the dialectical synthesis Vallejo proposed between avant-garde and neoclasicism. His chronicles also function as a tacit response to the famous Meridiano Intelectual (Intellectual Meridian) controversy. |
