Madrid{u2019}s Forgotten Avant-Garde explores the role played by artists and intellectuals
who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which
polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist
discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally
called in Spanish letters {u2018}The Generation of {u2019}27{u2019}, created fissures
between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation.
Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid{u2019}s cultural vanguards, as
they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence
on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other.
Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical
positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia,
their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural
constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political
and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War. -- From
