Abstract

Starting from a positioning about the study of literary journals, points of contact are detected between Octavio Paz and Roberto Fernández Retamar, as well as between their respective journals, Plural and Casa de las Américas, with the purpose of demonstrating that the first one is configured as a syntactical response to the paradigm of a revolutionary intellectual constructed in the Cuban journal. Three main axes are analyzed with that intent: each journal’s literary theory, its boom canon and its relationship to the academic realm.
