For years, the name of any writer contemporary Argentine art and weighs as much politically as they did at the time
Julio Cortazar, Jorge Luis Borges Ernesto Sabato. Perhaps Osvaldo Bayer, but the denial referred to the new generations and the Santa Fe, by age and quality, goes together with the three legs of the leaflet, they all admired, criticized and even hated.

To analyze the work of an author and the author himself, we must first understand the social context in which it occurred, in which they interact. I will
Cortázar, who is known for his political activism of the revolutionary movements Latin America: that it be given, first had to migrate to a country where, at that time, I weighed the word of existentialism of Sartre , the intellectual requiring a commitment to action, were the years in which Fidel Castro defeated Batista , were the times those already brewing student awareness that led to the revolt of May 68
with red banners and an iconic image of Che
. As he was "trivializing explanation - he left Buenos Aires Peronist fleeing a ruling that the speakers in the corners prevented him from reading or listening to music comfortable. In the early days of his intellectual activity, are a witness, for example, the stories of Bestiary ; of its transformation process, the most interesting came Rayuela; of consciousness ultimately Manuel Book.

Borges's narrative, however, is to reflect a particular political thought, the universal theme, irony, metaphysics and grammatical accuracy are the sum of a faultless work. The criticism falls on the Borges says the voice, not the pen. In this case also possible, course, the previous budget, you must know the context. Is it possible, bearing in mind the history of the writer, Borges a condescending with Peronism with Isabel Peron ? The Peronist , to cite a familiar example, Borges removed from his post at the municipal library and he was appointed inspector of birds, a position he rejected. Later, ousted Perón
, he was appointed head of the National Library
. In 1980 he signed a requested that the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo were published by Clarín . Borges was an author who produced a sense of mindfulness, of course, but a sense pointing to his only real political and religious affiliation of literature. Tan controversial as the previous one, Ernesto Sabato in his youth alternated between Europe and Argentina, between physics and literature, between surrealism and communism . In 1976 he attended a dinner given by the then coup leader, Jorge Rafael Videla , accompanied him other intellectuals, among whom were Borges and Leonardo Castellani
father, by which time other writers had "disappeared" as
Haroldo Conti , for whom the military said Castellani. In 1984, President Raul Alfonsin summoned him to head the National Commission on Disappeared People, CONADEP , which resulted in the document entitled Never Again. From the first it was said that political activism contaminated their production literary neophytes worthless elude the political stage of Cortázar and lost a great work. The second weigh nationalistic prejudices and many who call themselves "patriots" and lost a great work. For the third itching intellectual reserve added to the political prejudices and lost a great work. That he did not write as he wrote, that is a traitor, a charlatan and misspelled ... Those who say this is because they have not read or read the best of Argentine letters, which wrote the three points of the divine hypostasis in the sky of literature . They were, are, writers; to that dedicated their lives and were consistent with it. Were, for themselves, politically incorrect. Guillermo Paniague
