La morada, la casa y el cuarto de guerra: tres momentos de la literatura mexicana (1869-1927)

Abstract

The word house or dwelling, in the case of Mexican literature, has been used at different times as a shared space, but at each stage has enjoyed a different meaning, always referred to the literary tradition. El Renacimiento (1869) of Ignacio Manuel Altamirano employs the word concordia referred to the home that understood that it was this magazine; a foundational space for Mexican literature comparable to the social and political effort involving the restored Republic of 1867. Another moment is the Revista Azul (1894-1896) of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera that without forgetting this offer of the master, is reorienting and interested in modernist literature. Finally, the Contemporáneos explicitly use the term House, but also with the meaning of a fortified house that resists the outside siege.
