CONTRERAS, Alvaro. Cesar Vallejo: The revolutionary intellectual and the end of the differences. CELEHIS [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.1-9. ISSN 2313-9463.

This paper embraces the ways in which the Russian revolution becomes visible to César Vallejo in his travel books, as well as the conditions and the languages that make possible the visibility of certain scenes. In his travels around the city and through the urban scenes he builds, Vallejo displays his story as a learning experience for those who have misunderstood the revolution, as if in his saying resided what politics and what really happens there, in Stalin's country. These travel chronicles remind us how the ideological figure of equality is constructed, how everyday narratives produce spaces, how it was possible for Vallejo to measure equality by the link with objects, and how this bond -the image of a society where everyone they have the same thing- it involves a previous definition of the need value. According to Vallejo's chronicles, what is heard and seen in the public sphere allows a new way of making affirmations about reality, not extracted from reality itself, but from a body of doctrines.
