Abstract

A critical approach to Latin American culture in the sixties implies to some extent the need to revisit the classic expression 'committed writer.' However, as Claudia Gilman (2003) rightly points out, Sartre's call to commitment, under the determination of mid-'60s Latin American anti-intellectualism, results in an image of the revolutionary writer, which raises a peculiar tension between the field of aesthetics and that belonging to ideological matters, displaying signs of exhaustion for the term 'engagement' ,and consequently the need for concrete action.
