Filed Memories. The History of the League of Writers and Revolutionary Artists through its Archives
Abstract
The League of Writers and Revolutionary Artists (LEAR) was a group which organized the Mexican artists and intellectuals in the 1930s. The LEAR had a considerable influence into the field of art and culture in Mexico and also was part of an antifascist artist and intellectual network which defined an international position for the defense of culture. Despite the remarkable influence of the LEAR, this organization has been studied by the historiography of Mexican art since the 1990s. This paper seeks to show how the archive was fundamental for the historic studies of the LEAR, as a source, but also as a textual memory that enables interpretations about the artists’ projects and the resolutions and tensions between the private dialogue and the projection of images.
