Resistencia cultural a un régimen autoritario: el “sonoro” silencio de SUR durante el primer peronismo

Abstract

Victoria Ocampo´s literary review Sur strove to maintain a certain literary standard and remain outside the political fray. This would prove impossible in the politically charged climate of the ’30s and ’40s. Firmly ensconced in the liberal tradition that opposed all manifestations of European totalitarianism –Francoism, Fascism, Nazism– Sur rose in defense of the values of “civilization” and democracy, expressing first its support for the Spanish.
