PINEDA BUITRAGO, Sebastián. Alfonso Reyes and the early reception of avant-garde literature in Hispanic America. Valenciana [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.24, pp.51-73.  Epub Dec 30, 2019. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i24.429.

This paper aims to examine the early reception of the historical avant-gardes in Hispanic American literature. Having in mind the outbreak of Mexican Revolution and the First World War, both futurism and cubism are in relation with a response to the daily praxis of military propaganda, and thesemanifestos can be found in other Reyes texts from 1913 and 1924 when he lived in auto-imposed exile in Madrid.Finally, I will discuss Reyes' early avant-garde in relation to Borges y Huidobro.

Keywords : Alfonso Reyes; Literature; Historical avant-gardes; Futurism; Cubism.
