Comunidades cronópicas: encuentros entre Julio Cortázar y la Acción Poética

Abstract

This article studies, from the archival perspective, the exchange between Julio Cortázar and the Movimiento Nueva Solidaridad, given by a poets’ meeting celebrated in Mexico City in February 1964, in order to study the different forms of community that take place. By collecting some of Cortázar’s letters and the official bulletin Arte y rebelión, this work aims to open an entry, less approached by the critics, to re-read Cortazár’s writings at the time of poetical and political convergence in Latin America and the Caribbean. The main thesis poses the emergence of a certain cronopic community that tenses and at the same time blends itself with the Casa de las Américas , the Latin American intellectual community, revealing, therefore, the ambivalence and the complexity of the community pulse that dynamizes Cortázar’s writing.
