“You see, our house is all joyful with júbilos”. Letters, newspapers, magazines and intellectual networks of Carmen Conde in Buenos Aires (1925-1934)

Abstract

The mechanisms that established Carmen Conde’s prominence in the European and Latin American cultural spheres were grounded in four intersecting dimensions: (1) her authorial identity as a woman with a distinct creative determination; (2) her literary production; (3) the social contexts in which her works circulated; and (4) the media that effectively connected these elements. This essay examines the writer’s texts and her interactions with intellectual interlocutors in Buenos Aires between 1925 and 1934, a critical period for the development of her literary style and the international recognition of her authorship, facilitated through correspondence and publications in newspapers.
