Abstract

The text is about the meeting of two self-exiled artists in Mexico City in 1936: the Guatemalan poet and art critic Cardoza y Aragón and the French poet and playwright Antonin Artaud. Silviano Santiago discusses how both valued the role of culture in social and economic transformations and how they positioned themselves in the Mexican artistic and social environment.
