In Naciones intelectuales, Ignacio M. Sanchez Prado explores the
processes and works that laid the foundations of a new literary
modernity in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. Focusing on a
period that goes from the signing of the Constitution in 1917 to
the death of Alfonso Reyes in 1959, Sanchez Prado centers his
analysis on the way in which four elements of Mexican cultural
practice - the notion of literature, the figure of the
intellectual, the creation of academic institutions and the
definition of national identity - emerged through the various
debates held by leading figures of the period. Through an
appropriation of Pierre Bourdieu's notion of 'literary field', the
book analyzes different key moments, controversies, and cultural
interventions, which ultimately led the diverse aesthetic spectrum
created by the Revolution into becoming a highly institutional
system of literature. Sanchez Prado's work deals with a wide range
of writers, including Alfonso Reyes, Jorge Cuesta, Manuel Maples
Arce, Ramon Lopez Velarde, Francisco Monterde, Jose Gaos, the
Hiperion philosophers, and Octavio Paz. As a result, this books
offers a cartography of Mexican literary institutions unprecedented
in scope, which will allow readers, students, and scholars to
understand the construction of modern Mexican literature in a
clear, rigorous, and systematic way.
