Descripción
Sumario:Guarania, a magazine founded by the controverted writer, historian and ephemeral President of Paraguay Natalicio González, was a vehicle for cultural diffusion, a tool for political struggle or propaganda, and a space of intellectual sociability. In its third period, published in Buenos Aires between 1942 and 1944, it explicitly addressed a Latin-American audience and circulated in many of the region’s countries. This article discusses the magazine’s contents and uses various sources to retrace the ties between González and other Latin-American intellectuals, seeking to ascertain how Guarania acted as a physical medium for intellectual sociability, and how these relationships were later used by González to claim his status as a Latin-American intellectual and seek “absolution”, facing posterity, from his contentious political trajectory.
