| description |
In the present contribution, I will show how the ideological relations of the founders of Revista Moderna (1898-1903) with the group of scientists close to the Porifirian government, and in general, with the positivist discourse, was used by the magazine’s creators in order to advance their positions. In this sense, the founder’s discourse had the objective of legitimizing their struggles for the dominance of Mexico’s literary and cultural powers.
The irruption of a second modernist generation —that by the self-termed decadents— in Mexico’s literary scene at the end of the 19th century, brought with it heated discussions which confronted the young writers associated to such aesthetics tendencies against the defenders of a traditionalist nationalism, which was still in vogue in those decades. After several years of disputes captured in the pages of Revista Moderna, the magazine’s editors made use of their relations with the scientific spheres, not just to make counterpoints to their adversaries’ arguments and “nationalize” modernism, but also, to turn their journal into one of the main voices of their movement throughout the continent. The initial agreement with the scientist’s sector and with their discursive practices, however, generated significant tensions which, finally, were resolved in favor of a literary supremacy. |

I28-R145-7347_oai2025-11-17 Zavala Díaz, Ana Laura 2019-11-01 In the present contribution, I will show how the ideological relations of the founders of Revista Moderna (1898-1903) with the group of scientists close to the Porifirian government, and in general, with the positivist discourse, was used by the magazine’s creators in order to advance their positions. In this sense, the founder’s discourse had the objective of legitimizing their struggles for the dominance of Mexico’s literary and cultural powers. The irruption of a second modernist generation —that by the self-termed decadents— in Mexico’s literary scene at the end of the 19th century, brought with it heated discussions which confronted the young writers associated to such aesthetics tendencies against the defenders of a traditionalist nationalism, which was still in vogue in those decades. After several years of disputes captured in the pages of Revista Moderna, the magazine’s editors made use of their relations with the scientific spheres, not just to make counterpoints to their adversaries’ arguments and “nationalize” modernism, but also, to turn their journal into one of the main voices of their movement throughout the continent. The initial agreement with the scientist’s sector and with their discursive practices, however, generated significant tensions which, finally, were resolved in favor of a literary supremacy. En el presente artículo se intenta mostrar el uso ideológico que los fundadores de la Revista Moderna (1898-1903) hicieron tanto de su relación con científicos cercanos al gobierno de Porfirio Díaz, como del discurso positivista dominante entre estas esferas, con el fin de legitimar su participación en la lucha por el poder literario y cultural. La irrupción de la segunda generación modernista —la de los autodenominados decadentes— en la escena literaria del México finisecular suscitó una serie de acaloradas polémicas, que enfrentó a los jóvenes allegados a esa tendencia estética con los defensores del nacionalismo costumbrista, todavía vigente en ese momento. Después de años de disputas, en las páginas de la Revista Moderna, los editores se valieron de dichas relaciones con el ámbito científico no solo para contrarrestar los argumentos de sus adversarios y “nacionalizar” el Modernismo, sino también para convertir su publicación en una de las principales voceras de ese movimiento a nivel continental. El pacto inicial con ese sector y con sus prácticas discursivas, sin embargo, generaron fuertes tensiones que, finalmente, se resolvieron en favor de la supremacía de la literatura en aquel impreso. Neste artigo se mostra o uso ideológico que os fundadores da Revista Moderna (1898- 1903) fizeram tanto do seu relacionamento com cientistas próximos ao governo de Porfírio Diaz, quanto do discurso positivista dominante entre esses círculos, com o intuito de legitimar sua participação na luta pelo poder literário e cultural. O surgimento da segunda geração de modernistas —a dos autodenominados decadentes— no palco literário do México finissecular levantou uma série de acaloradas controvérsias, que opôs os jovens seguidores de essas tendências estéticas aos defensores do nacionalismo, ainda em vigor naquela época. Depois de anos de disputas, nas páginas da Revista Moderna, os editores tiraram proveito das relações com o campo científico, não só para combater os argumentos dos seus adversários e “nacionalizar” o modernismo, mas também para converter a sua publicação em um dos principais porta-vozes desse movimento no nível continental. O pacto inicial com o sector e as suas práticas discursivas, no entanto, gerou fortes tensões que finalmente foram resolvidas em favor da supremacia da literatura. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/7347 10.34096/zama.a11.n11.7347 spa Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/7347/6595 Zama; Vol. 11 No. 11 (2019); 93-106 Zama; Vol. 11 Núm. 11 (2019); 93-106 Zama; v. 11 n. 11 (2019); 93-106 2422-6017 1851-6866 Mexico 19th Century decadentism and modernism positivism Revista Moderna scientism México siglo XIX decadentismo modernismo positivismo Revista Moderna cientificismo Mexico século XIX decadentismo-modernismo positivismo Revista Moderna cientificismo Diluted backgrounds: Scientism and Literature in the Revista Moderna Contornos diluidos: cientificismo y literatura en la Revista Moderna info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=zama&d=7347_oai |
