Escritura, política y masividad: Contra y la Revista Multicolor de los Sábados

This article analyzes the relationships between political avant-garde and cultural industry focusing in the circulation of writers, genres and writing modalities among the Argentine newspaper Critica, the review Contra and Critica’s literary supplement, Revista Multicolor de los Sabados, in order to identify both the differences among massive newspaper, Gonzalez Tunon's review, and supplement, as well as the permeability among them. On the one hand, the social function of art about which writers debated in leftist publications created tensions against journalistic commercial aspirations. On the other hand, literary productions worked with topics, images and themes from both cultural industry and left-wing culture.
