Abstract

AMICOLA, José. María Rosa Oliver y la utopía. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.2, pp.19-26. ISSN 1853-001X.

The present article pretends to focus on a question that has not been enough treated in the case of María Rosa Oliver's personality; I mean: her political commitment that ran together with her aesthetical commitment. The coincidence of her itinerary with the one described by Victoria Ocampo allows to consider the activities of these two femmes de lettres in contrast, especially in what we can call the profundity of ideals by María Rosa Oliver, in front of certain banality in the questions of political considerations (but also may be in her aesthetical reasons) by the director of the Sur magazine. The great period of tension of the Cold War that has found María Rosa Oliver occupying an active and central place permits us to consider now how vain had been her purposes to produce some possibility of a people understanding. The crumbling down of the Soviet Union in 1991 has produced a change in the international balance which María Rosa Oliver, thanks to her utopic mind, would not have foreseen and nor less accepted. The feeling that her activities would leave to us is, therefore, are somehow paradoxical and also, may be, pathetical, if you consider her profile as a woman from the periphery of the world and as a minus-valid fighting against Goliath's forces.

Keywords : Utopy; Sur; Cold War; people understanding.
