Abstract

FONSECA, Luis  and  AGUILAR, Diana. Nadaism and Vanguard: Because not Arriving is also the Achievement of a Destination. Pensam. palabra obra [online]. 2020, n.23, pp.28-45.  Epub May 09, 2021. ISSN 2011-804X.  https://doi.org/10.17227/ppo.num23-5151.

This paper proposes a new approach to the literary production of the nadaists and the theoretical positions around the group, with the aim of researching about the category of artist that the group set as their goal. The idea is to analyze the positioning of the nadaist artist within the different controversies and points of view that witnessed the advent and development of Nadaism. We also seek to reconstruct those controversies that Nadaism provoked in traditional Colombian criticism and how such production created a debate around the ways of institutionalizing the literary work in terms of discussions between tradition/periphery, center/margin and high literature/low literature. In this order of ideas, we will try to answer questions such as: What role did Colombian critics play in the positioning of Nadaism as an rebellious group? How do they configure their idea of Nadaism from the attacks of tradition? What were the possibilities that scandal and public events offered to the development of Nadaism as a possible vanguard? This paper seeks not only to respond to these questions but to carry out a repositioning of the poetic group within the Colombian critical tradition.

Keywords : nadaism; criticism; artist; vanguard.
