MIRANDA, Lida. The Editorial Group of Nosotros Magazine as Seen from the Inside. Argentina, 1907-1920. hist.crit. [online]. 2015, n.58, pp.79-94. ISSN 0121-1617.  https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit58.2015.04.

The cultural magazine Nosotros, founded in Buenos Aires by Alfredo Bianchi and Roberto Giusti, occupied an undisputed place in Argentine culture during the first half of the 20th century. This article offers a reconstruction of its editorial group in the period between 1907 and 1920, from a perspective of social and intellectual history. It suggests that the institutionalization of the editorial group around a Cooperative Society was decisive in its growth as a magazine and publishing house, as was its management by the poet Rafael Obligado, since Nosotros would soon become a prolific publishing label. Under the influence of World War I and the Russian Revolution, the magazine went through intense political and ideological debates that undermined the cohesion of the editorial group and threatened its continuity. The history of the magazine is reconstructed here on the basis of a wide variety of sources (correspondence, a complete collection of the magazine, and memoirs from the period).

Keywords : Argentina; cultural history; debate; magazines (Thesaurus); ideology (author's keywords).
