Abstract

GRISENDI, Ezequiel. The “provincial writers”: Cultural mediators, institutions and “peripheral” literary circuits (Córdoba, 1940-1960). Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.273-284. ISSN 1514-6871.

The specialization process of the cultural field and the emergence of various types of intellectual figure must be understood from the dynamics of each area of production of symbolic goods and their role in political and cultural geography, broadly construed. In this case, we analyzed the relationship between some cultural mediators and the formation of literary social spaces in Cordoba between the early 1940s and the late fifties. In our argument, it is important to note the forms actually produced by those denouncing and complaining about the status of writers in provincial areas, to note certain courses of action taken in the debate on the professionalization of the "man of letters" and to attend to the editorial ventures that promoted in order to spread their production circuits of varying scope. The final concentration of the means of literary consecration in Buenos Aires, the unstable situation of the main agents of the provincial circuit and the progressive renewal of the "aesthetic criteria" over the decade of the fifties, largely defused the experiences surveyed here.

Keywords : Cultural mediators; Literary Circuits; Institutions; Córdoba.
