The Hispano-American literary modernization and the transnational borders during the modernism and the literary boom

Abstract

In the present work we have seted out to compare two moments of the cultural modernization in Latin America, at the beginning of century XX and towards years 1960, during the literary boom. The comparative objective obeys to that it is possible to observe certain similar mechanisms at both moment. The Spanish literary field is chosen as the space from certain disputes and debates of Latin American Literature. The literary instances of modernization are accompanied also of discussions on regional or the universal thing of Literature, the location within greater contexts and the aspiration to belong to one ` world-wide republic of literary?’ Whatsoever, this recognition does not close the central point of constitution of national Literatures, that is to say, the bond of the language with a national space, but that makes possible new glances and the formulation of other problematic ones in the order of the literary creation, the commercialization and the distribution of works.
