Abstract

Between 1955 and 1965, the Mexican Literature Magazine was a space of openness and critical transformation from which the Mexican Mid-Century group was formed. The present work proposes a study on the magazine and its relationship with the writers of the Spanish republican exile in Mexico, with special attention to the Hispanic-Mexican writers or second generation of the republican exile of 1939. This article analyzes, on the one hand, the participation and place they occupied in the magazine and the projection and presence in its pages about the Spanish exile in Mexico and their interest in the affairs of Franco's Spain. To this end, what the RML meant in the Mexican cultural field is described, as well as the transculturation process.
