Abstract
GONZALEZ SANTOS, Roberto Kaput. Alfredo Gracia Vicente: del exilio republicano al jardín alfonsino. Valenciana [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.16, pp.195-214. ISSN 2007-2538.
Nostalgia for the lost territory and incorporation of the subject in a new environment are the issues that are the counterpoint of Alfredo Gracia Vicente's intellectual work. These elements define his multiple roles as an educator. Within the institutional location of his teaching, he repeatedly exercised the function of an anthologist. This was his way of recovering the tradition that the experience of exile took, and the strategy implemented in the creation of aesthetic beings beyond the classroom. The book ...del jardín de don Alfonso comes to us a document that recreates the dialogue that Gracia had with the writings of Alfonso Reyes. Early on (1907-1927), the regiomontano had laid the groundwork for cultural exchange between Spanish and Latin American intellectuals. Making Hispanismo a living space and a cultural-exchanged corridor was the common interest of these thinkers. This historical, sentimental and aesthetic place gives a higher unity to all participants without disrupting their prerogatives. Therefore, in his role of anthologist Gracia is part of the Aesthetic State that Robert Conn tracks in the work of Alfonso Reyes: the framework where a communal culture is represented by the institutions of art and literature.
