Galaxias y archipiélagos de la modernidad. Octavio Paz, Haroldo de Campos y la literatura española contemporánea

Abstract

This article traces the importance of two Latin American authors -Mexican Octavio Paz (Mexico DF, 1914-1998) and Brazilian Haroldo de Campos (São Paulo,1929-2003)- in the transformations of Spanish criticism and literature from thesecond half of the 1960s onwards, especially through their relationships with Julián Ríos (Vigo, 1941), Pere Gimferrer (Barcelona, 1945) and Andrés Sánchez Robayna (Gran Canaria, 1952). Bringing these three poles -Spain, Mexico and Brazil- into contact will make it possible to recognize some of the dynamics that crossed the literary life in the sixties and seventies, and to verify, incorporating other mediations, how they communicated at that time regions of knowledge that later, after those years of crisis, would become stagnant again. 

Keywords: Octavio Paz, Haroldode Campos, contemporary Spanish literature, Andrés Sánchez Robayna, Julián Ríos, Pere Gimferrer.
